Land For Sale £3,600,000
Occupying a Plot of approx 3.65 Acres, Frenches Farm is a collection of agricultural buildings with a variety of uses, located within greenbelt off Wigley Bush Lane in South Weald.
The property would make a good investment for a forward thinking person as it comes with full detailed planning for 8/9 Detached Houses but also offers a rare opportunity for a Commercial site as well - for storage, workshops or a progressive mixed use application.
Frenches Farm also enjoys a prime location just a few minutes from Junction 25 of the M25 and there is good access for HGV's and a large hard-standing area.
The Farmhouse was constructed in 1988 and over time, stables with a livery yard and a farm shop have been added.
The stables, livery and farm shop are grouped tightly within the centre of the site, with smaller buildings aligning the site boundaries to the North.
Grazing land surrounds, and it has been acknowledged that the site, due to its historic use as a Farm with associated outbuildings, can be defined as 'Previously Developed Land'.
In 2021, Brentwood Borough Council gave Permission in Principle for the demolition of existing Farm buildings, with exception of the existing Farm House, and the construction of up-to 9 large executive dwellings with associated access.
We understand there is £0 CIL or S106 payments to Brentwood council which is a bonus.
Pre-application advice was sought for the demolition of the existing collection of buildings - 1238sq m, and their replacement with some 8 dwellings (instead of 9) covering a footprint of no greater than 1000sqm of land.
There MAY be potential for a further uplift by revising the planning/appeal to get the 9 houses and also achieve the larger footprint which was granted at the outline planning stage.
Several of the proposed properties have a Ridge Height of 28ft to give the potential of being three-storey, while others have a generous Footprint of 1400 ft.².
The vision is for you to create sizeable, high spec executive homes within an exclusive Gated Development of 8 new homes PLUS the existing Farmhouse.
The Land Owner is also prepared, by separate negotiation, to provide further land to enable a private residents 'Park' to be created.
The current scheme details a permitted 916 m2 (9859 sqft) footprint of development excluding the existing Farmhouse,
Its worth noting that in addition to having the convenience of the A12 and M25 being within close proximity, this is also a lovely rural setting on the edge of South Weald, with picturesque woodland backdrops and wildlife in abundance.
Please note, the current owners are happy to work with interested parties and allow any agreement to be subject to full planning.
