Outline planning permission has been granted for a proposed residential development of three detached dwellings, two with double garage, in this semi-rural setting, standing within twenty-three acres of Grade 3 agricultural land. The permission is subject to the demolition of the existing agricultural buildings with outline permission for the erection of three-, four- or five-bedroom detached houses. In addition, there is a detached farmhouse, requiring renovation/modernisation.
The outline planning consent is to demolish agricultural buildings and erect three detached dwellings with associated garages, driveways and access road. Potentially, at least two plots could benefit from a share of the adjacent 23 acres or thereabouts of agricultural land, classified as Grade III on the Agricultural Land Classification Plan (provisional).
A planning pack is available upon request or further information can be found on the West Lancashire Borough Council planning portal (Planning Application No. 2021/1257/OUT).
The site sits within the small rural village of Wrightington Bar as designated in the West Lancashire Replacement Local Plan where the principle of limited residential development of up to four dwellings would be acceptable. The existing farmyard is made up of existing range of buildings, together with hard standings throughout which lead onto the open fields of circa 23 acres. The site edged red extends to 0.49 acres or thereabouts.
The new development has been designed in an informal layout using buildings considered to fit in with the rural character of the area. Total proposed volume is 2238m3 – 973.17sq.m.
The layout has been designed to accommodate three properties whilst maintaining the existing farmhouse and access through the site to the fields to the rear. Vehicular and pedestrian access will be via the existing access which feeds off Carr House Lane. A minimum of three parking spaces will be provided for each dwelling and the existing farmhouse.
The property is freehold under Land Registry Title No. MAN160052.The property will be sold with vacant possession on completion.
The property is sold subject to all existing rights of way, wayleaves and easements.
