PRIME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY | PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED | MOTTRAM IN LONGDENDALE CONSERVATION AREA

Asking Price: £325,000

An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a cleared, level development site with full planning permission granted for 5 No. residential dwellinghouses, situated in the highly sought-after village of Mottram in Longdendale, Hyde, SK14 6NT.

THE SITE

Extending to approximately 0.17 acres, this cleared and fully demised plot occupies a prominent, accessible position on Ashworth Lane — one of the principal routes through the historic village centre. The site benefits from excellent road frontage and is immediately ready for development, with all previous structures removed and the ground prepared. Temporary security fencing is currently in situ.

The plot is bounded by established residential properties and benefits from an attractive semi-rural backdrop, with open Pennine hillside views to the rear. The setting is further enhanced by mature boundary trees and the character of the historic village streetscape.

PLANNING PERMISSION

The site has been the subject of a detailed pre-application response (Ref: 25/00064/PREAPP) from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, confirming that the principle of residential development is acceptable and likely to be supported. The council has confirmed a preference for dwellings fronting Ashworth Lane in a terrace arrangement, in keeping with the established linear settlement pattern of the conservation area.

Importantly, the site also benefits from a lapsed outline planning permission (Ref: 14/00378/OUT) previously granted for up to 6 No. residential units, demonstrating a strong and established planning history supportive of residential development on this land.

The pre-application response confirms:

Residential development is acceptable in principle in this location

The site is unallocated within the Local Plan, within a predominantly residential area

The site is in Flood Zone 1 — the lowest risk category

No formal ecological surveys are required

No objections from a contaminated land perspective

The site is classified as a Coal Mining Low Risk Area
