Blaby Golf Range, Lutterworth Road, Blaby, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE8

Web Description

Residential development land with outline planning consent for 200 dwellings. Extending to 39.85 acres (16.3ha) or thereabouts.

Description

The site extends to 39.85 acres (16.3ha) held under one ownership (part of title number LT386963).

The site is currently a golf course with a car park and retail/cafe buildings to the west of the site and currently comprises a 9-hole main course, a short pitch and putt course and an adventure golf area. The car park is hard surfaced, and the current buildings have been adapted and extended from the original driving range buildings.

The site is relatively flat and level, apart from landscaping associated with the golf course use.

The illustrative masterplan makes the most of the existing trees and ponds on site and provides generous POS landscaping. Interested parties are asked to factor in to their bids the cost of demolition of the current buildings and the re-profiling or removal of excess soil and fill materials from the pitch and putt and adventure golf areas.
