THE LAND
A long, narrow strip of freehold woodland of about 3,407 sq m (36,673 sq ft / 0.84 acre), subject to measured survey. It follows the line of the former railway north-east from Cross O'Cliff Hill (A607), between the open land of Malandry Closes and Lincoln's South Common. Mature trees cover the whole strip. The land forms part of a larger registered title, and only the land edged red on the title plan is included. It is offered with vacant possession. It may suit a buyer looking for a woodland or amenity holding close to the city centre.

PLANNING
There is no planning permission. The local planning authority is the City of Lincoln Council, and the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan applies. Buyers should check for Tree Preservation Orders, conservation area status and any green-infrastructure designations, and take their own planning advice.

LOCATION
The land is on the southern edge of Lincoln, running towards South Park and Queen's Park, with the South Common next to it. The High Street and South Park shops are close by. Lincoln city centre and Lincoln Central station are a little over a mile to the north.

TENURE
Freehold, with vacant possession. Part of title LL307228.

ACCESS AND VIEWING

A guide price is not a valuation. With a single-figure guide, the reserve will be within 10% of that figure. The guide and reserve may change up to auction day. Please read the legal pack and Special Conditions before bidding.

On the guide price: I've used a single figure of £15,000 rather than "£15,000 plus", to match the other lots.

Lots 48 and 51 are both transfers of part from LL307228. The seller's solicitor will need separate transfer plans for each, and the Special Conditions will need to deal with any rights reserved over the remaining land.
