Description

Occupying a convenient position within the popular residential area of Old Whittington, this parcel of land extending to approximately 143 sq m offers an interesting opportunity for developers, builders or private individuals looking to explore the potential for residential development.

Benefiting from direct vehicular access from William Street North, the plot is situated within an established residential setting and offers potential for the construction of a separate dwelling, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.

The land has most recently been utilised as a storage yard and provides a relatively manageable plot which may lend itself to a variety of uses. A shipping container currently situated on the site is available by separate negotiation.

No planning permission has previously been granted for residential development, and prospective purchasers are encouraged to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority regarding the suitability of the site for their intended use.

Importantly, the vendors are prepared to consider a sale agreed subject to the purchaser obtaining satisfactory planning permission, providing an attractive opportunity for those wishing to investigate the development potential before committing to a purchase.

The location is particularly convenient, with local shops, schools and amenities nearby, together with excellent transport connections towards Chesterfield and Sheffield and easy access to the A61 and wider motorway network.

Offering approximately 143 sq m of land with vehicular access and potential for residential development, subject to planning, this is an interesting opportunity within an established residential location.

Viewing is recommended to appreciate the position, access arrangements and potential of the plot.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
