Description
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY | LAND WITH LAPSED PLANNING
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial development site in a highly sought-after Salford location, with the benefit of previous outline planning consent for residential development.
The site is located at 124 Eccles Old Road, Salford, M6 8QQ and previously benefited from outline planning permission under application 16/69195/OUT, granted on 19 December 2017.
The application was for:
“Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of up to 4 apartments”
The application was submitted in outline with all matters reserved, providing an excellent starting point for developers looking to bring forward a residential scheme, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The previous planning history provides an established indication of the site's development potential. The property is now being offered as a development opportunity with lapsed planning, and prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with Salford City Council regarding any future proposals.
The site is situated on Eccles Old Road, within an established residential area of Salford and conveniently positioned for access to Salford, Manchester and surrounding areas.
The site was also identified on Salford City Council's brownfield land register, with the historic planning record confirming the 2017 outline permission. More recent brownfield register information identifies the site as a development opportunity but without current planning permission, hence purchasers should not rely on the historic consent as a live permission.
