Description
– 0.45 Acres of Freehold Land, South of Queen's Park, South Park, Lincoln LN5
Guide Price: £5,000*
A freehold strip of land of approximately 1,818 sq m (0.45 acres, subject to measured survey) on the line of the former railway, south of Queen's Park Play Area and Queen's Park Community Hub, next to South Common, Lincoln.
The Land
The lot is the south-western part of title number LL307252, extending to approximately 1,818 sq m (0.45 acres), subject to measured survey, as shown on the lot plan. It is a strip of tree-covered land on the line of the former railway, between Queen's Park and South Common.
The remainder of title LL307252, to the north-east, is offered as a separate lot. Boundaries and access are set out in the plan and legal pack.
The land may suit amenity, woodland, conservation or community use, subject to any consents.
Planning
There is no planning permission. The land lies between a public park and South Common, and City of Lincoln Council's policies generally protect open space. Any other use or development would need planning permission and should not be assumed. Some trees may be protected, and former railway land may contain old ballast or contamination. Buyers should check with the council and take independent advice before bidding.
The Location
The land is south of Queen's Park Play Area and Queen's Park Community Hub in South Park, Lincoln, next to South Common. Lincoln Central station is about a mile away, and the shops and services on South Park Avenue are close by. Local schools include South Park Primary, Sir Francis Hill Primary and Lincoln Christ's Hospital School.
