Whistler Drive, Castleford, WF10
- Land size
- 1.1 acres
Key Features
- Prime development land
- Suitable for a variety of uses subject to planning
Description
1.1 acre road side plot of land, largely regular rectangular shape with existing road head giving easy access to the site.
The site is currently partially fenced and sits adjacent to a modern housing development.
We consider the site could be suitable for a variety of uses subject to all necessary consents, albeit we feel that a residential development, sheltered living, or care home uses may be considered most favourably by the local planning authority. We believe this could be an ideal site for a Housing Association and Care Home.
We also consider the site might be suitable for a small retail development (STP). The site benefits from both left and right ingress and egress.
Conditional and unconditional offers will be considered.
TOPO available on request.
