Summary

POTENTIAL BUILDING PLOT FOR SALE

An excellent opportunity to acquire a small development plot with strong potential. Outline drawings have been prepared for the construction of three homes. A previous planning application was submitted but later withdrawn by the current owners, following concerns raised by the council regarding the proposed site entrance being positioned too close to the junction.

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to carry out their own due diligence regarding access to the site and to consult with the relevant authorities.

The plot is situated on Guntons Road in Newborough, on the site of the former Post Office, directly opposite the Bull pub.

There is currently a bungalow and a number of garages on the site, all of which are expected to require demolition due to structural movement.

The total plot size is approximately 0.3 acres (subject to survey).

Planning reference: 24/01396/OUT (further details available).

Agent note

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority and to carry out all necessary due diligence regarding planning permission, access, services, and any other matters that may affect their intended use of the site.

The vendor and selling agent give no warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, in relation to the development potential of the land. Purchasers must satisfy themselves as to all aspects of the property prior to committing to a purchase.
