Description

Location The land is situated on the east side of the A59 Preston Skipton trunk road.

Method of Sale
The sale is being concluded by informal tender to be submitted to the Selling Agents prior to midday on Wednesday 26th August 2026.
Services
comprise mains water supply but all three lots have a stream running adjacent to internal boundaries.
Right of Way
If Lot 3 is sold separately then a right of access will be reserved over Lot 1 shown on the plan marked A – B and the right of access will additionally allow for the construction of a stone based track subject to the grant of planning permission.
Access Road Maintenance
The maintenance of Ridding Lane is shared equally between the owners of the land to be sold and the sewage treatment works. Maintenance of the half share attributed to the land to be sold will be divided proportionately between the three lots offered for sale.
Boundary Fence Maintenance
Existing fencelines and proposed fence lines will be constructed and / or maintained in accordance with the T marks on the sale plan with the inward T mark being the responsibility of the owner of the land within that boundary. The owner of Lot 2 can fence the south boundary to allow unobstructed access to the sewage treatment works.
Overage Covenant
Lot 1, Lot 3 and the northerly part of Lot 2 which are all part of HM Land Registry Title No. LAN126762 are subject to an overage covenant with a 35% development clawback if planning permission is granted creating an uplift in value payable on implementation of the planning permission for anything other than exclusively agriculture or equestrian use with stabling or the construction of a dwelling house with occupation limited to use in connection with agriculture. The covenant expires in year 2035.
