Description

Residential Development Opportunity – Planning Approved for Five Executive Detached Homes - Reduced Stamp Duty May Be Applicable Due To The Existing Property Condition

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a prime residential development site extending to approximately 0.25 hectares, situated on the sought-after Turner Street in Westhoughton. Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce, making this an attractive proposition for developers, investors, and housebuilders seeking a well-located site with planning consent already in place. The total GDV for the site is £4,126,470

Planning Application No. 18711/24 has been approved for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of five substantial five-bedroom detached family homes. The approved scheme has been carefully designed to create a high-quality residential development that complements the surrounding area, incorporating upgraded highway works, enhanced access arrangements, and attractive landscaping throughout.

The proposed dwellings offer generous accommodation, with Plot 1 extending to approximately 233 sq.m, Plot 2 to 233 sq.m, Plot 3 to 223 sq.m, Plot 4 to 223 sq.m, and Plot 5 to 244 sq.m, providing an excellent mix of spacious executive homes in a highly desirable residential setting.

The site is supported by a comprehensive package of technical reports, including a Shallow Mining Report, Ecological Appraisal Report, Highways Technical Report, Ground Gas Risk Assessment, and Ground Investigation Report. These reports provide prospective purchasers with valuable insight into the site and further confidence in progressing the approved development. Copies are available upon request.

A significant financial advantage is that no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is payable on the development, helping to reduce overall project costs and enhance potential returns.

Occupying an enviable position within an established and popular residential area, the site benefits from excellent access to local amenities. Westhoughton town centre is just a short distance away and offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and everyday services. The location is particularly well connected, with both Daisy Hill and Westhoughton railway stations accessible within minutes, providing convenient links to Manchester, Bolton, and the wider region.

The area is also well served by a selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, further supporting the demand for quality family housing.

Combining a desirable location, approved planning permission, comprehensive supporting documentation, and attractive financial benefits, this represents an outstanding development opportunity with considerable appeal. Early enquiries are strongly recommended.
