Description

LOCATION
The site that is for sale will be accessed from Spinners Vale (a highway which is to be adopted) within the Redrow Homes Calder Grange development in the settlement of Billington which is situated in Borough of the Ribble Valley.

The site is located approximately 1 mile to the south west of the village of Whalley, approximately 5 miles from the town of Clitheroe, approximately 6.9 miles from Blackburn and approximately 13 miles from Preston.

The site is within easy reach of a wide range of services and amenities which can be accessed on foot or bicycle. Within Billington, there is a village store, St Augustine's R C High School, children's play area, the Billington & Whalley Brass Band Club and a children's nursery.

The site is within walking distance of the popular village of Whalley where a wide range of services can be accessed including a thriving high street of independent shops, convenience stores, pubs, restaurants, fast food takeaways, dentists, medical centre, churches, Whalley Primary School and Oakhill School and Nursery, bus services and a train station.

DESCRIPTION
The development site is a relatively level and broadly rectangular piece of land which measures approximately 45m x 90m and has an area of approximately 0.57acres (0.23Ha) or thereabouts.

The site was recently used as a compound to facilitate the development of Calder Grange and it looks onto a balancing pond which provides part of the surface water attenuation from the completed Redrow site.
