The irregular plot lies behind houses fronting Dudley Road, in an established residential part of the town, and is reached over adjoining land.

THE LAND
The boundaries are shown edged red on the plan in the legal pack. Images are for identification only. Buyers should check the title plan for the extent of the plot, along with any restrictive covenants and overage provisions.
ACCESS
Access to the plot is over adjoining land. Before bidding, buyers should check the legal pack to confirm the nature and extent of any rights of way, whether those rights cover vehicles as well as pedestrians, and any obligation to contribute to maintenance.
PLANNING
The land is offered without planning permission for any use or development, and the seller gives no assurance that permission would be granted. It may appeal to neighbouring owners seeking extra garden or amenity land, buyers needing parking or storage space, and long-term land investors, subject to any necessary consents. The local planning authority is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. Buyers should make their own enquiries before bidding.
