RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY – FULL PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED
Land at Shield Row House, Sunny Terrace, Stanley, County Durham, DH9 8AW
A rare opportunity to acquire a residential development site with full planning permission for the demolition of the existing detached dwelling and garage and the construction of two detached residential properties with a detached triple garage.
The site occupies an established residential position on Sunny Terrace, Stanley, within an existing residential setting and offers an excellent opportunity for a developer, builder or investor seeking a consented development project in County Durham.
Planning permission was granted under County Durham Council application reference DM/22/02394/FPA for:
“Demolition of existing detached dwelling and garage and construction of two detached dwellings and detached triple garage.”
The permission provides for the creation of two new detached homes, together with a substantial detached triple garage, subject to the approved plans and conditions.
A subsequent application, DM/23/02492/DRC, was approved in August 2024 for the discharge of specified planning conditions relating to materials, site investigation and coal mining matters.
The site is situated in Stanley, a well-established County Durham town offering a range of local amenities, schools, shops and transport links. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, providing an attractive setting for new-build family homes.
Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with County Durham Council and satisfy themselves as to the planning permission, approved drawings, conditions, site boundaries, services and development potential.
Planning application number DM/23/02492/DRC
