Description
Development Land
We are delighted to present to auction this plot of Development Land in the North Lanarkshire village of Harthill, ideally positioned approximately midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, offering excellent transport links and strong appeal for future homeowners.
The site extends to approximately 20,000 sq ft, and has Planning Permission in Principle (North Lanarkshire Ref: 25/00176/PPP) for the new build of five detached dwellings, offering excellent scope for a high-quality residential development.
Sitting adjacent to the Development Land is an exciting residential development opportunity comprising a former Church which benefits from full planning permission (North Lanarkshire Ref: 25/00518/FUL) for conversion into three residential dwellings, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create distinctive homes. The Development Land and Church are being offered as separate listings, but the vendor is happy to consider offers for both together.
If the Church is sold separately from the Development Land the vendor will assume responsibility for costs related to title split.
With excellent connectivity, approved planning consents already in place, and significant Gross Development Value (GDV) potential, this is sure to attract strong interest from developers, builders, investors and those seeking an exciting residential development project.
Early expression of interest is strongly recommended.
The North Lanarkshire village of Harthill is ideally positioned approximately halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh making it an attractive choice for commuters, families and developers alike.
