Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire a ready made site with planning permission granted for the demolition of the existing bungalow and replacement with a 4 bedroomed, modern detached house fronting Dickens Heath Road, together with 3, 2 bedroomed townhouses to the rear.
Planning permission reference: PL/2025/00402/PPFL
The site is located a short walk from the amenities of Dickens Heath village, along a tree lined road of executive detached houses and within easy reach of the M42 motorway, Whitlocks End train station, Shirley and Solihull Town Centres.
The existing site offers a detached 2 bedroomed bungalow which stands to the far end of the deceptive L-Shaped plot, with accommodation providing reception dining kitchen, utility and guest WC, living room, inner hallway and two double bedrooms, bathroom and first floor loft / hobbies room (not building reg compliant for use as a bedroom).
Outside, there is a useful store / garage unit and well screened gardens to the surround.
Offered for sale with no chain, the bungalow is currently under a tenancy agreement. The tenant would be happy to stay longer, should you wish to alter the current planning permission and retain an income whilst doing so.
Things to Know...
The site will be offered with vacant possession. The land holding offered for sale, with the permission, is freehold in tenure.
Services - The land has connection to mains water, electricity and drainage. Such supplies connect to the existing bungalow, buyers will be required to make their own investigations and cover the logistics of increased supply lines for additional dwellings.
Subjective comments in these details imply the opinion of the selling agent at the time these details were prepared. Naturally the opinions of the purchasers may differ.

Planning Permission - We have provided the planning reference number for buyers to make and understand the conditions attached to the permission approved. The current planning will be subject to a CIL.
Local Authority is Solihull M.B.C. - Buyers will have to liaise with the Valuations Office regarding the proposed bandings for each dwelling.
