The Plot 
Land, Building and Building Plot at Main Road offers an excellent development opportunity to provide one single storey dwelling on site with the possibility of increasing to two. 

The vendors applied for “Outline application for the erection of a single storey dwelling with detached garage & vehicle access from A48 (appearance and landscaping to be reserved for future consideration)” under planning reference 19/00718/OUT which was approved on 6th May 2020. This application has recent Reserved Matter approval and is now extant. The vendors then applied for “Permission in Principle (PIP) for the erection of two residential dwellings” on the same site under planning reference 21/01378/PIP which was approved on 27th June 2023. This permission allows for any purchaser to submit detailed plans to the Council with the principle of development having been approved.

The plot area is shaded in blue on the sale plan and benefits from independent access onto Main Road A48. The development will provide the opportunity for someone to create a family home with the benefit of a ring-fenced farm holding extending to 41.89 acres in a prime location.

Land & Building
Offering a premium smallholding package in an ideal location with an excellent ring fence, the land is accessed via an established track from the south-western corner which provides direct access to the building, a useful general purpose agricultural timber portal framed four bay building with Yorkshire board and plyboard elevations under a tin sheeted roof.

The land is set over four gently sloping to level extensive field enclosures which are all set to pasture capable of being grazed or mown for fodder but could also be utilised for arable production. Mains water is connected with the fields serviced by water troughs. A water course from the northwestern boundary of the land provides a useful natural water supply. The land benefits from an additional access gate in the north-eastern corner.

The building plot is positioned within a rectangular paddock on the southern boundary, which also benefits from independent access from Main Road (shaded blue on the plan).

The primary field enclosure will be subject to Development Clawback Overage Provision (shaded in yellow on the plan). The overage area does not include the building plot area (shaded in blue).

The land and building with the potential of a residential dwelling offer any purchaser the rare opportunity to acquire a fantastic Gloucestershire smallholding with potential which could be utilised to support any smallscale livestock, arable or rural enterprise.
