Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION An excellent single building plot situated in a sought after residential location approximately 3 miles from the historic market town of Whitchurch. This attractive parcel of land offers buyers the chance to create a bespoke home in a peaceful yet well connected setting.Planning permission has been secured, providing a clear pathway for development. The original outline consent was granted under reference 19/00788/OUT, followed by approval of the reserved matters under 20/05322/REM. This will be confirmed by the Vendors Solicitor during the Pre- Contract Enquiries. A subsequent variation to the permission has also been approved under 24/03030/VAR, ensuring the scheme is fully up to date and ready for progression. This plot represents an ideal opportunity for self builders, developers, or those seeking to design and construct a home tailored to their needs in a desirable Shropshire location.

LOCATION The plot is located in Higher Heath, which stands approximately 2 miles from the village of Prees which benefits from a convenience store/post office, newsagents, doctors surgery, hairdressers, recreational facilities, railway station and a highly regarded primary school. The busy market town of Whitchurch is only four miles away which offers a variety of local independent shops, schools, four large supermarkets and other major retailers. Whitchurch train station is on a direct line between Crewe and Shrewsbury with onward connections to Manchester, London and Birmingham plus other major cities. The larger centres of Chester, Shrewsbury, Telford, Wrexham and Crewe are all within 14 to 26 miles approximately.

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY Community Infrastructure Levy - Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL): Shropshire Council operates a Community Infrastructure Levy on new residential development and the council CIL team have advised that CIL becomes payable upon the sale of the land.This plot carries an CIL liability of £21,169.29 calculated on a chargeable floor area of 178 sqm for the single storey dwelling approved under planning reference 20/05322/REM to be paid by the vendor.A later variation consent (24/03030/VAR) introducing accommodation within the roof space increases the approved floor area to 227 sqm, raises the potential CIL liability to £27,450.00. As this varied approval has not yet been implemented, the higher charge has not been triggered.Should a purchaser obtain subsequent planning permission that alters the chargeable area, CIL paid against the plot is capable of being offset via CIL Abatement process. Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to make their own enquiries regarding CIL liability, abatement, exemptions and procedural requirements.Full CIL details and guidance notes can be found on Shropshire Councils website;
