Description

This is a unique chance to acquire a development plot with the flexibility to create an exceptional project, subject to the necessary planning consents. Please see the attached site plans and proposed floorplans provided. The site forms part of 39 Melbourne Avenue, a 1980s conversion comprising four flats. The freehold was acquired in the early 2000s by three of the four leaseholders, with the rear plot later identified as a development opportunity. In around 2015, the freeholders agreed to package the rear section of the site — formerly occupied by three derelict garages with access via a side drive — for development and eventual sale. Planning permission was subsequently granted, and the development was technically commenced within the required timeframe to preserve the consent. Following this, the owners decided to sell the plot with the benefit of planning permission rather than complete the build themselves. The rear plot has now been fully and legally separated, including the resolution of previous covenant matters relating to one of the leasehold properties. The sale includes: The rear development plot Existing development rights and planning permission Permanent right of way access via the side drive Full Building Regulations documentation has also been prepared and can be made available upon request. A fantastic opportunity for developers, investors, or buyers looking to create something bespoke in a desirable residential location.
