Compton Martin, Bristol, Bath And North East Somerset

The Outline Approval

A rare opportunity to acquire an OUTLINE consented self-build plot within the highly desirable Chew Valley village of Compton Martin. The site benefits from outline planning permission with reserved matters. The approved scheme comprises an attractive 1.5-storey property delivering a detached 3-bedroom dwelling with parking for a minimum of two vehicles, turning space and landscaping.

The outline consent provides a well-defined and policy-compliant scheme, whilst retaining flexibility over appearance and landscaping, making it particularly attractive to self-build purchasers and design-led developers.

The Current Site

The site comprises a parcel of land that forms part of a residential garden and orchard setting.

The plot extends to approximately 697 sqm and benefits from a private and secluded position within the village.

The site is generally level, and access will be via the private driveway belonging to the current road-facing property (A368).
