For sale by Modern Method of Auction; Starting Bid Price £150,000 plus reservation fee. Subject to an undisclosed reserve price. Situated in a sought-after area of Wakefield is this parcel of undeveloped vacant land (approximately 0.16ha in area) and is offered for sale with the potential for a development of a live/work scheme, accessed from Thornleigh Avenue.

With the benefit of substantial formal pre application discussions with Wakefield Planning Department, advice has been sought for two live/work units, creating work facilities on the ground floor, comprising a work unit (anticipated to be 35sqm each in size) and a garage for each unit (18sqm), with internal stairs to two first floor flats (64sqm). It is proposed that the existing access will be utilised from Thornleigh Avenue, with the provision of a shared driveway, parking and turning area.

Following pre application discussions, the Council have responded positively to the proposals and the principle is considered acceptable. It has been noted that overall, it is considered that the proposed design and layout should be achievable without comprising the amenities of neighbours, highway safety nor the character of the area.

Any application submitted will require specific consideration to the council’s response from the statutory consultees that have been received through the pre-application enquiries. All responses, relevant allocation and policy information and the formal response from the Council can be requested to view.

In summary, the site is subject to part of the Wakefield Council’s Local Development Plan Core Strategy 2009, is allocated within the Wakefield Urban Area, and falls within flood zones 2 and 3a (areas at medium and high risk of flooding) as identified by the Environment Agency and upon the Council’s adopted Local Development Framework Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. A basic flood risk appraisal report has been prepared and should support any future application. The National Planning Policy Framework and the emerging Local Plan 2036 are also a key considerations for any application.

The proposed site is well placed to local amenities including shops and schools, Thornes Park and a short drive or walk to Wakefield City Centre.

Please note, the proposed site is larger than a flood risk area. Further details are available upon request.
