Residential Development Site with Full Planning For 4 no. Detached Houses

Situated on a development plot approx. 0.32 acres (0.13 hectares), this site offers full planning permission for four detached dwellings following the demolition of an existing barn.

The plot obtained outline planning permission under application number 06/2020/0195 on 16th June 2020 from Preston City Council. Subsequently, reserved matters were approved on 27th March 2025 under application number 06/2023/0660. Full planning details and information for both applications can be found on Preston City Council Planning Portal and within the legal pack.

The approved scheme comprises four detached dwellings each arranged over three storeys, and incorporating an integral garage, living accommodation, home study, four bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, off-road parking and private rear gardens.

The site is situated on Bartle Lane in Lower Bartle, a highly regarded location benefitting from an attractive rural outlook combined with excellent transport links. The location has recently been enhanced by the completion of the Preston West Distributor (Edith Rigby Way) with new junction (J2) of the M55 ideally located within approx. 1.7 miles.

The area is exceptionally well served by amenities including the award-winning Bartle Hall Hotel, Barton Grange Garden Centre and Marina, The Flower Bowl leisure complex (golf, curling) , together with a selection of highly regarded gastro pubs, sports clubs and recreational facilities. The locality benefits from access to a number of highly regarded schools, including several Ofsted Outstanding-rated primary and secondary schools within a short drive.
