Lea Hall Cottages, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

– Former TRS Station Site, Lea Hall Cottages, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury SY4 3DX
Guide Price: £20,000+*

A small roadside plot of approximately 139.87 sq m (subject to measured survey), formerly a telecoms repeater (TRS) station, at Lea Hall Cottages on the A528 at Harmer Hill, about five miles north of Shrewsbury.

The Site

The plot extends to approximately 139.87 sq m (1,505 sq ft), subject to measured survey. It is a narrow rectangular plot between two cottages at Lea Hall Cottages, with frontage to the A528, and is currently overgrown behind a roadside hedge. The title, tenure and any rights affecting the land are set out in the legal pack.

Planning

There is no planning permission. The site is in open countryside, where Shropshire Council's Local Plan strictly controls new building. Possible uses, such as storage, garden land or a small rural building, would need planning permission. The plot's small size, its position between homes and access onto the A528 will all limit what is possible. Buyers should seek pre-application advice from Shropshire Council before bidding.

The telecoms operator may have kept cables, ducts or rights over the land, and there may be old foundations. Buyers should check the legal pack and commission their own surveys.

The Location

Harmer Hill is a small village in rural north Shropshire, about five miles north of Shrewsbury, with a village pub and village hall. Wem and Shrewsbury have a full range of shops and services. The A528 runs past the site to Shrewsbury, Wem and Ellesmere, and the A49 is nearby. Yorton and Shrewsbury stations provide rail services. Local schools include Myddle CE Primary and The Corbet School at Baschurch.
