General Information - Location
Eastoft is a picturesque village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, situated within
the Isle of Axholme. The nearby market town of Crowle lies approximately 3 miles to
the south-west, Scunthorpe is approximately 6 miles to the south-east and the Port
town of Goole is approximatley 7 miles to the north.
Surrounded by open arable farmland, Eastoft is a peaceful rural settlement
benefiting from excellent access to main road links. The village retains historical
charm and benefits from amenities including a primary school, village hall and the
renowned traditional pub, The River Don Tavern.
A wider range of facilities, including shops, secondary schools and general services,
are available in nearby Crowle. The A18 and M180 are located to the south, providing
convenient access to the national motorway network.

Building 1 / Office

roof, the building benefits from uPVC double glazing, mains drainage and oil-fired
central heating. Extending to approximately 1,479 sq. ft. Gross Internal Area (GIA),

room. The building could easily be converted back into a dwelling, subject to
planning (STP).

Planning Status/Development Potential
The site falls within the jurisdiction of North Lincolnshire Council and is, therefore,
subject to planning policy guidance as set out within the North Lincolnshire Local Plan
(adopted May 2003), the North Lincolnshire Core Strategy and National Planning Policy.
Local planning policy is currently under review and the land has been promoted
through the recent Call for Sites exercise.

The site is within the settlement boundary for Eastoft, as defined in the Housing and
Employment Land Allocations DPD and, in our opinion, is well suited for residential
redevelopment, in keeping with neighbouring land uses (subject to planning).
As North Lincolnshire Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply,
redevelopment of the site could contribute positively to meeting the council's housing
targets.

The site is located within Flood Zone 3a, however, it is noted that the entirety of Eastoft
falls within the same flood risk zone and it is therefore considered that this issue is
surmountable.

The Vendors have decided to sell the site unemcumbered and, therefore, the full
benefit of any future development will pass to the Purchaser(s) of the site.

Planning Authority
Interested parties should make their own enquiries to North Lincolnshire Council
regarding the potential for any planning permissions.
