DESCRIPTION

A unique opportunity to purchase a substantial vacant plot in the little-known but ever-popular suburb of Mottingham. The land is approx. 30m wide and 213m deep; extending to approx. 1.56 acres in all.

The land is understood to have been previously occupied by a substantial period dwelling similar to the neighbouring property, Norlesden House. Subsequently, we understand that a temporary house sat on the plot until it was demolished, possibly due to fire damage, in the 1960’s. The site now predominantly comprises scrub and self-sown woodland. There is a large clear area towards the front of the plot, with denser tree coverage to the rear. The site is located within an area designated as Metropolitan Open Land, is part of the South East London Green Chain, designated as an Area of Archaeological Significance and subject to a Woodland Tree Preservation Order (TPO) No TPO 2339/2009.

LOCATION

The subject property is located on the northern side of Mottingham Lane, close to the junction with Carters Hill Close. Sat between the Grade II Listed Fairmount Residential Home (formerly the home of WG Grace) and the striking Norlesden House, the site can also count Eltham College and the charming Mottingham Farm Riding Stables amongst its immediate neighbours. Mottingham Village is within 0.5 miles and offers a varied array of local amenities. Both Grove Park & Mottingham Stations are within a 1 mile walk (albeit the former via public footpaths), and offer regular rush hour services into London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street.

PLANNING

The site has been the subject of several planning applications over the last 30 years or so: In 1987 a planning application (87/00705) for the construction of a block of 14 self-contained apartments was refused, and later dismissed at appeal. In 2010 an application (10/01016) for the construction of a two storey 5 bedroom house was refused, and later dismissed at appeal. In 2014 a further application (13/04107) for a two storey 5 bedroom house was refused and dismissed at appeal. Finally, and most recently, an application (14/04341) for a largely subterranean house was also refused at local level and later dismissed at appeal.

The overriding reason for refusal in each case has been the perceived lack of very special circumstances that might justify the grant of planning permission for development on a site that is designated as Metropolitan Open Land. The impact on the ‘openness’ that the site currently provides in the street scene has also been repeated on more than one occasion.
