School Lane, St Martins

A rare opportunity to purchase a building plot in the popular residential village of St Martins. Outline planning permission has been obtained for the erection of a detached dwelling with access off the driveway to Bay Tree Cottage in the corner of Baytree Avenue. Planning documents can be found on the Shropshire Council website reference: 25/03230/OUT. The village of St Martins hosts a range of amenities such as schools, shops and public houses and is ideally located for access onto the A5/A484 trunk roads providing direct links to the larger towns of Llangollen, Oswestry, Wrexham, Shrewsbury and the City of Chester.

Location

The plot is situated close to the centre of the village of St Martins which offers an excellent range of amenities including supermarket, post office, petrol station, public house and excellent primary and secondary schools. Easy access onto the A5/A483 provides direct links to the larger towns of Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Wrexham and the city of Chester and the motorway network beyond. The area has an excellent bus service whilst the neighbouring village of Gobowen has a railway station offering links to Birmingham and Manchester.

The Site

The site extends to circa 260 sqm (0.026 ha) and currently forms part of the garden of Bay Tree Cottage. It lies adjacent to the access driveway.

Planning Permission

Planning permission was granted on 22nd October 2025 for the erection of a new detached dwelling. Details of the access, the landscaping, layout of the site and the scale/appearance of the dwelling are reserved for later approval. Approval has not been granted specifically for the dwelling indicated on the proposed block plan (P-02) and illustrative elevations/floorplans (P-10) which accompanied the application and are shown in this brochure.
