Plot of Land, Morningside, Wishaw, ML2
- Land size
- 1.2 acres
Description
McEwan Fraser Legal are delighted to offer to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial brownfield development site, extending to approximately 1.2 acres, and situated within the popular North Lanarkshire village of Morningside, just outside Wishaw.
The site is generally rectangular in shape and offers considerable potential for a range of future uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consents.
Of particular interest to developers, the site has a history of planning consideration. Planning consent was previously granted in 2015 for Residential, Commercial and Community Development (In Principle) - Land At, Morningside Road, Morningside, Newmains, North Lanarkshire, and in 2018 proposals were brought forward for the development of 15 residential houses, later scaled back to 13 units. Planning was withdrawn by the owners for more consideration and has not been refused.
This planning history, together with the site's established location within the village and its brownfield status, makes the property an attractive proposition for a small to medium-sized residential developer looking to bring forward much-needed new housing within an established community.
The site's previous planning history included proposals for 13 houses, providing an indication of the potential scale of residential development that may be achievable, although prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with North Lanarkshire Council Planning Department regarding any future development proposals.
Potential uses could include residential, commercial or other suitable development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. The site's location offers developers the opportunity to create new homes within an established community rather than an isolated greenfield location.
The combination of its scale, location, previous planning history and potential for residential development makes this a particularly interesting proposition for any developer looking to secure land with the potential to deliver a new residential scheme and contribute towards the continuing demand for housing within the area.
Viewing and further information available by arrangement with McEwan Fraser Legal.
Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding planning, access, services, development potential and any other matters relating to the site. Any reference to previous planning consent or proposed development is provided for information purposes only and should not be interpreted as confirmation that equivalent or alternative planning permission will be granted in the future.
