Description
An excellent and rare development opportunity to acquire a site with full planning consent for the creation of nine independent supported living flats, together with associated communal facilities and on-site car parking.
Planning permission was received and validated and has since been approved subject to legal agreement, offering purchasers a well-progressed scheme in a convenient and accessible location.
The approved plans provide for the development of nine self-contained supported living apartments, designed to promote independent living within a safe and managed environment. The scheme also incorporates dedicated communal space, encouraging social interaction and support provision for residents, alongside designated parking to serve the development.
The proposal presents a strong opportunity for developers, investors, or care providers seeking to deliver high-quality supported accommodation in an established residential area. With increasing demand for specialist housing solutions, the consented scheme is well-positioned to meet local needs while offering long-term investment potential.
Location
The site is situated on Barnsley Road in Cudworth, a well-connected and popular area to the east of Barnsley. The location benefits from good transport links, nearby local amenities, and access to public services, making it suitable for supported living accommodation. Barnsley town centre is within easy reach, and the wider South Yorkshire region is accessible via the surrounding road network.
Further details of the planning consent, associated documents, and legal agreement information are available upon request.
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a consented supported living development site in a sustainable and accessible location.
