Description
An excellent opportunity to acquire a fully consented residential development site, located off Bridge Avenue in a well-established and convenient area of Ormskirk. The land forms part of the former Hesfords DIY premises and is situated within close proximity to the town centre, local amenities and transport links.
Planning permission has been granted (Ref: 2024/1103/FUL) for the erection of three well-proportioned, 2.5-storey terraced dwellings, each benefitting from private rear gardens and off-street parking. The approved design adopts a traditional architectural approach, utilising brick elevations and slate-style roofing to complement the surrounding
built form.
The scheme is supported by a comprehensive suite of technical reports, including drainage, environmental and acoustic assessments, and is subject to a range of standard planning conditions typical of developments of this nature. These include requirements for contamination investigation, construction management, landscaping, materials approval and biodiversity enhancements.
The development represents a deliverable opportunity, ideally suited to small and medium-sized developers seeking a well-located scheme with clear planning consent.

Further details are available within the planning documentation.

Acceptable noise environment with mitigation measures in place
Minimal air quality impact with low projected traffic generation
Services: We understand that mains services are available in the vicinity of the site. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries in this regard.
