Description
This attractive parcel of land lies at the end of Burnbrae Road in the village of Stoneyburn and is identified in the adopted West Lothian Local Development Plan as site H-SB6. The site is zoned for residential use with an indicative capacity for 30 dwellings, offering a strong opportunity for future development, subject to planning consent. No formal planning applications have been submitted to date.
Historically used for grazing, the land has more recently served as an informal recreational space for the local community and is intersected by a network of footpaths, including one that enters from the south. Access is available via both Burnbrae Road and Burnlea Drive, providing flexibility for future infrastructure and layout. The site’s residential zoning, together with its accessible location and established entry points, presents strong potential for increased land value should planning permission be secured.
Land
The site extends to approximately 7.6 acres and is classified as having moderate agricultural capability under Scotland’s soil maps.
Tenure
