Land For Sale £650,000
*For Sale by Informal Tender - 3rd June 2021* A rare opportunity to acquire a residential development site adjoining open countryside in a sought-after village location.<br/></br>
<b>Location</b>
The site sits within the popular village of Penley to the rear of an established residential development, adjoining open countryside. Penley itself offers a range of local amenities including a village hall, convenience store and church whilst Ellesmere, Wrexham, Whitchurch and Chester provide more comprehensive facilities.
</br>
On the educational front the site is within a few hundred metres of The Maelor School, a good comprehensive school. Penley also has a primarily school, the Penley Madras Primary School and nearby independent schools include Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall in Oswestry and King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester.
</br>
Penley is well-placed for commuting to the commercial centres of the north west via the A483 and A49, both running north to south whilst the M6 is within 25 miles.
</br>
<b>Description</b>
The site is a flat land, currently overgrown, formerly forming part of the Polish Hospital (World War II facility). The site is deemed a brownfield site in a tier 3 settlement which is adjacent to existing dwellings and residential developments. There are several derelict buildings remaining, some of brick and others of metal framed construction under fibre sheet pitched roofs.
</br>
The land itself is private land with no public access and is approached off the A539 along Penley Hall Drive, over which the site has a right of way.
</br>
Approximately 29% of the application site is covered by impervious surfaces. The remaining buildings’ footprints amount to approximately 600 sq m. A tarmacked tennis court is also approximately 600 sq m. Part of the concrete emergency car park is visible which, from historical information, extends to approximately 1,000 sqm.
</br>
<b>Planning</b>
Planning has been granted, on appeal on, 2 February 2021, by the Welsh Ministers. The original application was refused by Wrexham Borough Council under reference P/2019/0835 dated 7 November 2019 and the subsequent refusal notice dated 28 February 2020.
</br>
