Land size
0.12 acres

Key Features

  • Outline planning permission for single dwelling
  • Plot measuring 0.12 acres (30m x 15m)
  • Superb location

Description

A rare opportunity to purchase this building plot with outline consent for a single dwelling located in a superb private, no through lane situated within walking distance to the centre of the town.

Situation:
Croft Lane enjoys a quiet location not far from Newbury town centre (10 minutes walk) and is located, adjacent to the open spaces of Goldwell Park, on Croft Lane which is one of the town’s most sought after addresses. Newbury town offers a good selection of shops and department stores, including the Parkway retail development, and nearby Waitrose which is a level 5 minute walk away. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, public houses and leisure facilities, including Newbury Racecourse, the attractive Kennet & Avon canal, Vue cinema, Corn Exchange and Watermill theatres. There are arts and sports centres, health and golf clubs, a bowls club, museums and an outdoor market on Thursdays and Saturdays. There are well regarded schools for all age groups and Newbury College, with its campus to the south of the town. There is excellent access to the major road routes of A34 and M4 and the mainline rail station to London (Paddington).

Description:
In June 2026 outline planning permission was granted by West Berkshire Council for the erection of a single dwelling. The application number is 26/00096/OUT and is for the construction of an individual new property. The decision notice and relevant documents can be viewed via the West Berkshire Council website on their planning pages using the application number above. There was previous full (19/02279/FULD) and also an outline planning permission (17/01339/OUTD) for different design of house so it is believed that there should be good scope to create ones own design.
