Description
This exceptional residential development opportunity is located in the highly sought-after area of Rudheath, Northwich, with full planning permission granted for six detached homes (planning reference: Cheshire West and Chester Council 23/01254/FUL).
The approved scheme comprises a well-balanced mix of three and four-bedroom detached properties, each designed with modern family living in mind. The site enjoys a prime waterside position backing onto the scenic Trent and Mersey Canal, offering future residents attractive views and a tranquil setting.
Much of the preliminary planning work is underway, with six of the seven planning conditions in the process of being discharged, enabling developers to fast-track the build process and minimise delays.
Perfectly positioned to capitalise on the continuing popularity of Northwich, where average property prices have shown consistent year-on-year growth, with some reports indicating a 3–5% increase over the past twelve months, this nearly ready-to-build site presents a rare turnkey development opportunity.
The combination of planning certainty, canal-side appeal, and strong local demand for quality family homes makes this site an outstanding proposition for housebuilders and investors. Whether aiming to deliver much-needed family accommodation or secure a future-proof investment in a thriving Cheshire market, this site offers a compelling mix of location, growth potential, and development readiness.
For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact our office at your earliest convenience.
Please note the site will require a CIL payment to be made to the council and we expect this to be between £50,000 and £58,000. Exact figure to be confrimed.
