Description 
The sale offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a residential development site extending to 2.23 acres (0.90ha) in total, with benefit of Outline Planning permission for five residential dwellings set over 1.19 acres (0.48ha). The land that was not included within the Planning submission offers the potential to expand the site (subject to the necessary consents and widening of the highway) and it is our understanding that informal discussions with the Local Planning Authority have already taken place to this effect. The site as existing is bounded by a mixture of mature hedgerow and within is down to grass and can be seen delineated RED on the plan, with vehicular access off Lesser Lane. The part of the site with benefit of Planning permission can be seen delineated BLUE.
Planning Permission 
Planning Application Ref: HPK/2016/0059 Outline Planning permission was granted by High Peak Borough Council on 2nd December 2016 with all matters reserved for the erection of five residential dwellings. A copy of the application is available upon request, or via the local planning authority website.
Affordable Housing 
Affordable housing will be required; however, an agreement has already been reached with the Local Authority that a commuted payment of £29,600 can be made in lieu as per Condition 10 of the approved planning consent. A copy of the relevant documentation is available upon request.
