Description

A unique opportunity to acquire a site with planning permission in principle for a 0.28-hectare residential development on the edge of the popular town of East Calder.

16 Raw holdings is a traditional smallholding on the edge of the town of East Calder. The site with approved planning in principle extends to approximately 0.28 hectares (0.69 acres). The site currently comprises of level ground that has historically been used for arable farming and hard standing yard space including a large steel portal framed agricultural shed.

The proposal is to develop a small infill site within the settlement boundary of East Calder. The adjacent land has been developed for residential housing, and it has been deemed by the council that the development of this site at 16 Raw Holdings would be compatible with that development.

Further details about the approved planning permission in principle are available from the selling agents.

East Calder is an established small town forming a group of residential communities to the south-east of Livingston. It is ideally placed for the commuter with access to the A71 which links Edinburgh and the west. There are further links to the motorway network throughout the central belt. The property is well placed for Kirknewton Railway Station servicing areas between Edinburgh and Glasgow. East Calder offers a good range of local amenities, including respected schools, doctor’s surgery, sports centre and country walks.

Access is currently taken from Langton Road heading into East Calder via the main entrance to 16 Raw Holdings. It may be that a new access would have to be created for the development.
