Description
The land offered for sale offers an excellent opportunity to acquire not only a highly productive block of Grade 2 arable land, but also the opportunity to acquire land that is strategically located in terms of future development potential.

Crosby le Moor Farm, Gunness, extends to approximately 238.67 acres (96.59 hectares) and is offered for sale as a whole or in three Lots (as shown coloured red, blue and green on the Site Plan).

The land is classified as being predominantly Grade 2 land by the Agricultural Land Classification Maps. The Soil Survey of England and Wales identifies the soils as being from the "Blacktoft" association and their characteristics described as "deep stoneless permeable calcareous fine and coarse silty soils, some calcareous clayey soils" and as suitable for "sugar beet, potatoes and cereals, some field vegetables" which is typical of the area.

Planning Potential
The land is currently located within the Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan (adopted 2016). The land is strategically located between the River Trent and the industrial town of Scunthorpe. To the north-east lies the site of the recently consented North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park energy-from-waste project within the Flixborough Industrial area. Land to the west and south forms part of the allocations within the withdrawn 2024 Emerging Local Plan, while to the south is the site of the proposed urban extension, known as the Lincolnshire Lakes development, which currently includes planning approval for 2,500 new homes.

Development Clause
Lots 1 and 2 are offered for sale subject to a development clause whereby 30% of any uplift in value (resulting from a change of use) in excess of agricultural value, is reserved to the current Seller for a period of 30 years, commencing from the date of completion. The Seller will also consider enhanced offers for Lots 1 and 2 with no development clause attached, so that the Buyer(s) would benefit from the full value of any future alternative use.
