Description
Colliers, on behalf of a private landowner, is proud to present and offer for sale this prime residential development opportunity.
Comprehensive offers are being sought from developers who can demonstrate an exemplary track record of acquiring and delivering new housing development on similar opportunities.
The land at Longridge is previously undeveloped and mostly covered by young to mature trees and grassland. Amounting to approximately 40 acres gross, the site has a generally level topography that lends itself well to development. Most of the boundaries comprise hedge rows and mature trees with informal pathways and established woodland to the northeast. Current open pedestrian access and egress can be gained from the western boundary onto Longridge. To the north and east is woodland and open rural land. To the south is Booths Mere and Park beyond.
A new access road is proposed, to be created by the developer purchaser, directly onto Longridge via land currently owned by the Council. This land has been secured by way of a legal option to purchase.
Outline planning application ref: 21/3100M was granted by Appeal Decision dated 9th December 2024. The proposed development comprises up to 225 dwellings and a building of class F2 use (formerly Class D1).
A full Information Pack is available for inspection and download within a dedicated electronic data-room. A link can be provided on request to qualifying interested parties.
