Land For Sale £450,000
The subject premises comprises a substantial size site and a vast area of land, extending to approximately 10.57 acres (4.27 hectares) in total, which is located to the rear of an existing housing estate within the suburban area of Cwmavon, along the outskirts of Port Talbot.
The site is generally of an irregular shape, which slopes further to the north, comprising a mixture of woodland in majority together with additional sloping grassland in part (more noticeably along the northeast section of the site), with the majority of the site appearing to be defined by various trees and hedgerows. The site is currently accessed via a number of unmade vehicular access tracks, which intersect the majority of the site. The main entrance to site can also be accessed off directly Heol Tabor to the south.
We further advise that the subject premises also accommodates a large amount of Japanese Knotweed and we advise that no further mitigative measures have been implemented to eradicate the presence of this invasive species.
We have also been advised that part of the site was previously granted planning permission for the construction of various 2 and 3 bedroom semi-detached dwellings, which were proposed to be constructed over the northeast area of the site (equating to approximately 3.35 acres). Planning permission for the proposed residential development was granted on 26th January 1977 (Ref: T1976/1232). We therefore advise that further enquiries will need to be made with the relevant Local Authority Planning Department to verify this information.
