Land At East Forth, Lanark Road, Forth, Lanark, ML11
- Land size
- 24.3 acres
Description
A prime opportunity to purchase farmland with development potential extending to approximately 24.3 acres (9.83 hectares) of land located to the south of the village Forth. The land benefits from zoning for residential development, positioning it as a strategic extension to the village of Forth.
Extending to approximately 24.3 acres (9.83 hectares), this prime parcel of land at East
Forth offers a compelling opportunity for residential development or farming in a
sought-after location.
The land benefits from a strong planning history, having secured planning permission
for residential development in 2009 under South Lanarkshire Council reference
CL/06/0397.
The site is zoned in LDP2 within the village envelope and is designated for ‘Green
Network’ and ‘Residential Masterplan’ uses and presents the ideal opportunity for residential development as part of an extension to the village of Forth. With LDP3 starting in earnest in 2026, the site is primed for strategic promotion and long-term value.
Tenure
The property is offered for sale as a heritable title.
Flooding
Prospective Purchasers should look into flood risk as part of their due diligence process.
The Vendor has not made us aware of any flooding to the property in the past.
Planning
The full planning history summary with regards to the property can be provided upon
request. Prospective purchasers should make their own investigations into the planning
consents and all relevant information including looking at the local authority planning
portal. It is recommended that those interested seek appropriate professional advice. It
may be that other uses for the site could be considered and prospective purchasers
should make their own enquirers accordingly and any such use would be dependent
on obtaining the relevant permissions.
Clawback
Please note that the land is subject to a clawback in favour of the Vendor. This is for
a period of 25 years and a 20% uplift in value if planning permission is granted for
anything other than its current use. Further details can be provided from the Vendors
solicitors.
