Description
:
The site enjoys a most attractive setting from where there are extensive views stretching across to the coast and is close to comprehensive amenities, with easy access into the town centre and onto the M61 motorway.
In addition it has the appeal of extensive waterside frontage to the Leeds Liverpool Canal along which, within strolling distance is Johnson Hillocks regarded as one of the prettiest set of locks on the waterways.
The adjoining site of 9 hectares (22 acres) is also currently available.
Planning:
In Chorley Council's Local Plan (2012-2026) the site is part of a larger area allocated for a mix of employment and housing use, subject to Policies HS1.8 and EP1.
The northern portion of the allocation is currently being developed for employment/commercial use and from discussions with the Planning Officer residential development would be welcome on the remaining land.
Outline Planning Permission (App No. 17/00716/OUTMAJ) was granted by Chorley Borough Council for Residential Development on the 21st October 2019.
Full details are available on Chorley Council website
Pre Application Advice has been received from Lancashire County Council Highways on the adjoining site to the south which confirms access onto Blackburn Road is permissible, subject to design.
Services:
All main services are available but purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries.
A foul water sewer, which is subject to an Easement, runs through the site north to south.
Tenure:
The site will be sold Freehold and free from Chief Rent.
A public footpath runs along the northern boundary along the Canal to meet up with Knowley Bridge.
No 139 enjoys a right of way along the driveway.
To View:
