A substantial level building site with lapsed planning approval for 9 two storey dwellings
This 1.3 acre residential development site benefited from detailed planning approval for 9 residential units. The current design is for 3 pairs of semi detached houses and a terrace of three 2 bedroom town houses. The site is well screened from the adjoining properties and is to the end of a culdesac of residential properties. A recent application for 9 dwellings was refused, not on the principle of housing, but due to technical matters relating from a nearby commercial use, and the need for an affordable housing contribution. Highways, flood risk, ecology and access were all found to be acceptable.
The refusal is considered addressable through revised design, layout, mitigation and policy compliance, and the site remains a very sustainable and attractive residential development opportunity for a future purchaser.
Stokes Avenue is on the fringe of the Market Town of Watton which is well served by a comprehensive range of amenities, schools, community facilities and shops.
The Site The plot is broadly rectangular with a frontage of 51m and depth of 110m. Approximately 1.3 acres (subject to measured survey).
