FULL DESCRIPTION
Freehold Land beside South Common, South Park, Lincoln
Guide Price: £30,000 plus VAT*
A freehold parcel of land of approximately 9,989 sq m (2.47 acres, subject to measured survey) behind Queen's Park Community Hub in South Park, Lincoln, beside South Common. Part of the land is used as allotments. It is sold subject to a lease the council believes it holds.
The Land
The lot is the freehold land edged red on the title plan for title number LL307228, extending to approximately 9,989 sq m (2.47 acres), subject to measured survey. It lies behind Queen's Park Community Hub and The Old Vicarage, beside South Common, and appears from aerial photographs to include allotment plots. It was originally railway land owned by BRB (Residuary) Limited.
Only the land edged red is included in this lot. The rest of the title, a long strip along the former railway line and a small triangle near Cross O'Cliff Hill, is not included.
The Lease
The council believes it holds a lease of the land, and the lot is sold subject to it. Buyers should check the legal pack for the lease, its terms and any rent, and take legal advice on how it affects possession and use.
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 the allotment and green-space designations, any Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area status, and take their own planning advice.
The Location
The land is on the southern edge of Lincoln, in South Park beside the South Common, close to Queen's Park and the High Street and South Park shops. Lincoln city centre and Lincoln Central station are a little over a mile to the north.
