Description
Guide Price: £10,000*
A freehold strip of mature woodland of approximately 6,877 sq m (1.7 acres, subject to measured survey) on the line of the former railway between South Park and South Common, Lincoln.
The Land
The lot is the freehold land edged red on the title plan for title number LL307252, extending to approximately 6,877 sq m (1.7 acres), subject to measured survey. It is a long wooded strip on the line of the former railway, running south-west from South Park Avenue between the houses on South Park and South Common, with a wider area at its north-eastern end.
Only the land edged red is included. The south-western section of the title, towards Queen's Park Community Hub, is not part of this lot.
The land is largely mature woodland and may suit amenity, woodland, conservation or leisure use, subject to any consents.
Planning
There is no planning permission. The land lies next to South Common, and City of Lincoln Council's policies generally protect open space. Some trees may be protected, and felling may need a licence. Former railway land may also contain old ballast or contamination. Buyers should check with the council, read the legal pack for access and any rights or leases, and take independent advice before bidding.
The Location
The land is between South Park and South Common, about a mile from Lincoln Central station, with bus routes along South Park. Lincoln city centre, the Cathedral Quarter and Lincoln Castle are within easy reach.
