Description

Being Sold Via Online Auction. Fee's Apply.

We are delighted to bring to the market this interesting development opportunity located in Tottington Bury. Tottington, Bury, is a popular suburban village location featuring local shops & green spaces.

The land measured by pro maps extends to approximately 1.1 acres and a previous outline planning application had been secured on the site for 4 dwellings, one being on land outside the boundary of the site for now sale but possibly able to be acquired separately. The outline consent for the 4 dwellings on the land for sale has recently lapsed and a new application will be required to develop the site. Capable of taking 4 new homes this land still needs planning in addition, a deep drain on the site needs rerouting and the site was a refuse tip and may need contamination resolving.

The site has considerable merit for residential development and will be of particular interest to small builders/developers in the area. (Old reference 67243)

The land is measured by Pro Maps - at an approx. of 1.1 acres.

Last planning which has just lapsed is as follows;
