SUMMARY
AUCTION SALE 10 September 2026 - Freehold development site with full planning permission for the construction of six contemporary family homes,
Full vacant possession

DESCRIPTION
Freehold development site with full planning permission for the construction of six contemporary family homes
Full vacant possession

Location:
The site occupies a prominent position adjacent to the former Park Hotel on Balmoral Road, conveniently located between Regent Road and Devonshire Road and within walking distance of Morecambe Promenade, Regent Park and the town centre. Lancaster city centre is also easily accessible by road and public transport. Morecambe is currently undergoing significant investment and regeneration, with the proposed £100 million Eden Project Morecambe set to become one of the UK’s most ambitious coastal regeneration projects. Located just a short distance from the site, the development is expected to drive further investment, employment, tourism and demand for quality residential accommodation across the area. The site also adjoins the former Park Hotel, which is currently undergoing an extensive conversion into fourteen high-quality apartments, further enhancing the immediate surroundings and demonstrating continued investment within the locality. Please note that the property being sold occupies the footprint of the houses and associated gardens, and not the proposed car park and internal access road.

Description:
An excellent opportunity to acquire a freehold residential development site benefiting from full planning permission for the construction of six contemporary family homes, comprising three 3-bedroom and three 4-bedroom properties. The site is offered with vacant possession and provides purchasers with an immediately deliverable residential development opportunity within an established and improving residential location.

Planning:
Full planning permission was granted by Lancaster City Council on 8th May 2025 under planning application reference 25/00116/FUL for the construction of six new family dwellings. The wider planning consent also includes the conversion of the adjoining former Park Hotel; however, this sale relates solely to the residential development land.

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,800 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior areas and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
