Bings Heath, Astley, Shrewsbury

A very rare Residential Development opportunity within a 52 acre Farm with privacy within a ring fence in a convenient location only 3 miles from Shrewsbury.

Roger Parry and Partners and Shaun Jones Planning and Rural are delighted to bring this rare opportunity to the market.
Adjoining woodland, Oakwood Grange is situated in a rare peaceful location but is only 3 miles from Shrewsbury. The land is divided into 8 rectangular fields with hedges and an abundance of mature oak trees in the hedgerows. The attractive natural ponds and woodland setting provide leisure/tourism potential, subject to planning.

Consent 25/04842/DIS (25/04842/DIS ) discharged the drainage condition. The treatment plant has been installed. Shropshire Council has subsequently confirmed that the consent has been activated.
