Description
SUMMARY
A fantastic opportunity awaits with this residential development site situated on Leys Lane. Offered with planning permission granted under Breckland Council reference 3PL/2024/0720/O, the approved scheme allows for the erection of 9 dwellings with associated access, presenting an exciting prospect for developers and investors seeking a project within a desirable Norfolk location.
Occupying a generous south-facing plot, the site currently accommodates an existing detached dwelling and multiple outbuildings which would require demolition in order to facilitate the approved development. The plot is bordered by mature trees and established boundaries, creating a sense of definition throughout the site, whilst still benefiting from excellent accessibility to nearby amenities and transport links. Positioned adjacent to established commercial units, the site offers a practical and accessible location.
Prospective purchasers should be aware that the existing septic tank, oil tank and utility poles are currently located within the site boundary.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a sizeable development site with planning already in place!
AGENTS NOTE
Please contact the office regarding the boundaries, the septic tank does not conform to current regulations and a planning application has been made within the area. Please note there are 26 conditions of the granted planning permission.
