Rectory Lane, Poringland, Norwich, Norfolk, NR14

A rare opportunity to acquire a building plot in the heart of the highly sought-after South Norfolk village of Poringland, offering exciting potential for those looking to create a bespoke home within an established residential setting.

The site is positioned amongst existing homes and naturally lends itself to what would typically be considered an infill plot, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Planning permission was previously sought in late 2013 and was refused at that time, however the refusal largely related to the frontage arrangement of the proposed design.

Since then, the current owners have adapted the frontage of the site, addressing the key aspect that formed the basis of the previous refusal. Whilst planning consent is not currently in place, the site’s position within a well-established residential street and the revised frontage configuration present what we believe to be a compelling opportunity for a purchaser to pursue a fresh application.

The owners have deliberately chosen not to submit a new planning application themselves. Should planning permission be secured, the value of the site would increase significantly. Instead, the site is being offered to the market at this stage, allowing a buyer to acquire the land and pursue their own application in line with their preferred design and layout.

The sellers are seeking a straightforward sale of the land and are not looking to enter into option agreements or conditional contracts subject to planning. Prospective purchasers will be expected to complete on the land and undertake their own planning enquiries and applications following completion.

Building plots in locations such as this are increasingly rare. For developers, self-builders or those looking to create a bespoke home in one of South Norfolk’s most popular villages, this represents an exciting opportunity with genuine potential.
