Pinewoods, Church Aston, Newport

A building plot of .20 of an acre with outline planning permission for a detached dwelling (Ref. TWC/2023/0915).

Location - Church Aston is a much favoured village situated about 1/2 a mile from the market town of Newport, with its wide range of shops, supermarkets and schools of high repute. The A41, on the outskirts of the town, provides direct access to the M54 motorway, Wolverhampton and the West Midlands conurbation. Telford (8 miles), Shrewsbury (19 miles) and Stafford (13 miles) are also within easy commuting distance.

The village itself has a primary school, church, community hall and children's play area.

The Land - The plot presently forms part of the rear garden to 8 Pinewoods and holds a pleasant corner position at the junction of the Wellington Road and Greenvale. The relatively level and regular shaped plot is defined to three sides by a mixture of attractive stone and brick walls. Extending to about .20 of an acre, the land is currently set out to lawn, various mature shrubs/bushes and a number of trees. Refer to plan overleaf (plot outlined in red).

Planning Permission - Outline Planning Permission was granted on 30th January 2024 for a detached dwelling and new vehicular access off Greenvale, subject to reserve matters (Ref. TWC/2023/0915).

Restrictive Covenant - The property is subject to a restrictive covenant registered against the title in the conveyance of the development site known as Pinewoods, dated 18th June 1970. The covenant states:
No sheds, garages or other erections of any kind shall be erected on the property until plans have been submitted for approval by the Transferor or its Architects Messrs Diamond Redfern & Partners of 26A Snow Hall Wolverhampton or such other consultants as may be appointed by the Transferor and such approval may be withheld by them at their absolute discretion but this provision shall not relate to the house and outbuildings built or to be built on the Property by the Transferor.
The Transferor is Thomas Low & Sons Ltd., a dormant company and a subsidiary of Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd. Our client's solicitor has approached Taylor Wimpey on the matter and we have email correspondence from them stating
"Further to this matter, we would advise that the covenant is for the benefit of the estate and whilst we will not provide consent we would not look to enforce."
Purchasers are therefore strongly advised to seek their own legal advice on this matter prior to submitting any offer. Indemnity Insurance cover on the restrictive covenant may be an option purchasers could consider exploring as part of obtaining professional legal opinion.

Additional Information - TENURE: We are advised by the Vendor, that the property is held Freehold and vacant possession will be given upon completion.
