Gross Site Area - 1.04 acres (0.42 hectares) Planning Permission for 7 dwellings Picturesque Village Location Freehold with Vacant Possession We are instructed to seek unconditional offers for the freehold interest in the land. Location The site is located in the much sought after and popular village of Himbleton and is accessed via Harrow Lane. The village of Himbleton lies North East of the City of Worcester, surrounded by the beautiful Worcestershire countryside and has an excellent community spirit with fine facilities including a church, public house, cricket club and First School. Worcester offers a larger range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities and has the historic Cathedral with the River Severn providing added leisure activities. Worcester is also a large employment area boasting a number of large companies including Worcester Bosch and Mazak. Himbleton Church A main line railway station provides direct access to London, Birmingham and other regional centres. Two M5 motorway access points at Worcester offer easy commuting to Birmingham, the wider West Midlands and to the South West. Description The site to be sold extends to approximately 1.04 acres (0.42 hectares) as shown edged red on the plan on page 5 and has previously been in agricultural use. The site is accessed from Harrow Lane which is an adopted highway. The surrounding area is predominantly residential to the south, east and west and is characterised by a mix of semi-detached and detached properties. The site is bounded to the north by agricultural land. Lying to the West of the village, the development will benefit from views over open countryside. The Galton Arms Pub
Planning Permission The site benefits from a resolution to grant planning permission for the erection of 7 dwellings under application reference 17/01434/FUL (subject to the signing of a section 106 agreement). The sizes of the approved dwellings are as follows: Plot House Type Sqft (excl garages) Sqm (excl garages) 1 2 bed semi-detached 840 78 2 2 bed semi-detached 1,076 100 3 3 bed detached 1,980 184 4 4 bed detached 2,422 225 5 4 bed detached 2,034 189 6 3 bed detached 1,292 120 7 3 bed detached 1,292 120 The planning permission will be subject to a Section 106 Agreement which is expected to allocate 1 of the properties as affordable housing on a 50% shared ownership basis, therefore giving a total of 6 open market units. Draft Section 106 costs are approximately 28,874.77 broken down as follows: Off site Affordable Housing 25,594 Public Open Space 3,280.77 Total 28,874.77 In addition to Section 106 contributions, the proposed development is liable for CIL and will be charged at 40 per m². This equates to a figure of 46,440. Opportunity The opportunity exists for a developer to acquire and build out this exciting residential development scheme in the picturesque and popular village of Himbleton. We would expect high buyer demand for all of the properties given that the village is very well located, has good access to local services and is convenient not only for Worcester and Droitwich but also for commuters to Birmingham and the wider West Midlands Conurbation.
