Lynns Court, Weir, Bacup, Rossendale

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a 0.49-acre residential development site with full planning permission for three luxury detached homes, positioned in the highly desirable semi-rural village of Weir, Rossendale. This is a rare chance for developers, self-builders or investors to deliver a premium scheme in a peaceful countryside setting with outstanding end-value potential.

The plot sits between 6 & 7 Lynns Court and benefits from a private setting surrounded by established homes in a secure gated community of other families, open green space and woodland. The location plan clearly outlines the full extent and potential of the site and its context within Lynns Court.

The approved layout provides excellent spacing between plots, landscaped gardens and private parking areas. Attractive boundary treatments—including 1.8m close-boarded timber fencing and engineered retaining structures—are clearly detailed in the plans.
