Location
The land is situated in a tranquil position on the edge of the sought-after village of Great Barrow, to the north east of Chester. Great Barrow itself offers a range of local amenities including a village shop, a public house, village hall and attractive church. A comprehensive range of facilities are available in the Historic Roman City of Chester with further shopping outlets at the Cheshire Oaks outlet village.
On the educational front, the village has a well-regarded primary school with secondary schooling at Christleton High School. Highly regarding independent schools include Abbeygate College and King's and Queen's Schools in Chester.
On the recreational front, there is a village playing field, cricket club and several golf courses in the locality including Eaton and Vicars Cross Golf Clubs. For the equestrian enthusiast there is horse racing at Chester and Bangor on Dee, polo at Little Budworth and motor racing at Oulton Park.
Description
The site is a relatively flat open area of land. Up until the 1980s it accommodated numerous buildings associated with the sewage treatment works which the site was used for. Since that time, it has gradually greened over although there are still some remnants of its former use still present.
The land is accessed from the north west corner through a field gate directly off Heath Lane. The property has excellent road frontage along its northern boundary and all four boundaries are fringed by established hedging with specimen trees. The land extends to approximately 1.57 acres in total.
Planning
A pre-application was submitted to Cheshire West and Chester in 2018 for the development of nine detached houses. A subsequent verbal response from Cheshire West and Chester Council Planning Authorities was not supportive in principle, as the site is currently within Green Belt and outside of the village settlement. It is thought any development will have to demonstrate very special circumstances. The Council are reviewing their Part 1 Local Plan, which includes the Green Belt.
Prospective buyers will have to make their own enquiries as to the suitability and prospects of securing residential planning consent.
