Description

**DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY** - VITALSPACE ESTATE AGENTS are delighted to offer for sale, on behalf of the landowner, this exceptional residential development opportunity on Higher Road, Urmston. The site benefits from full planning permission for the demolition of the existing vacant garage and the construction of three impressive three-storey terraced houses, offering an exciting prospect for developers, builders and investors seeking a consented scheme in a well-established residential location. The approved development has been thoughtfully designed to combine contemporary living with attractive traditional architecture, featuring an elegant brick façade and pitched roofs to create a cohesive and appealing street presence. Each proposed dwelling will offer substantial accommodation ranging from approximately 1,600 sq ft to 1,900 sq ft, arranged over three floors and designed to meet the demands of modern family living. The accommodation incorporates spacious living areas, contemporary kitchen and dining facilities, well-proportioned bedrooms, modern bathrooms and practical storage. The top floor is designed to accommodate an impressive principal bedroom suite, complete with en-suite facilities, dressing space and an additional area suitable for a home office or storage. Externally, the approved scheme provides private garden areas, off-road parking, cycle storage and dedicated refuse storage, while sustainability has been incorporated through the provision of air source heat pumps and photovoltaic (PV) panels. Based on the currently approved plans, the anticipated Gross Development Value (GDV) is approximately £1,600,000. A Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charge is also applicable and is currently estimated at circa £19,000, subject to confirmation with the relevant authority. Ideally positioned within walking distance of Urmston town centre, the site benefits from convenient access to a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities. The area is also well served by established schools, local bus routes, Urmston railway station and accessible motorway connections, providing convenient links to Manchester and the wider North West. Offering the advantage of full planning permission, a considered architectural scheme and a highly convenient location, this represents an excellent opportunity to deliver three substantial contemporary homes in a popular Urmston setting. Full planning details can be found on the Trafford Council planning portal under reference 118556/FUL/26.

NOTE

A CIL charge applies to this development, estimated at circa £19,000
