For sale by Auction: A bare site extending to 0.22 acres (903.81sqm), situated in a residential area, providing development potential, subject to planning permission.
The Land - Enjoying an elevated position within an established residential area, this bare, sloping site extends to 0.22 acres and provides development potential, subject to planning permission/consents. Full planning permission for three dwellings and associated parking was approved on 10 March 2021 under planning reference 6/2020/0154. The planning permission lapsed, and a new application for a similar scheme was submitted on 22 November 2023 (ref: P/FUL/2023/06848), but was subsequently withdrawn. The planning applications and associated plans and drawings can be inspected via the Dorset Council Planning Portal.
Situation - The property is situated on Priests Road within an established residential area of Swanage, within convenient reach of the town centre and its range of shops, schools, leisure facilities and other local amenities. Swanage is a popular coastal town on the Isle of Purbeck, with the larger centres of Wareham and Poole accessible by road. Wareham provides additional shopping and services together with a mainline railway station offering connections towards Poole, Bournemouth, Southampton and London Waterloo. Local bus services operate within Swanage and provide connections to surrounding settlements, including Wareham and Poole. The area also benefits from access to the surrounding countryside and the Dorset coast.
