■ A 1.54 acre residential development opportunity in the sought after Ribble Valley location of Mellor Brook SITUATION AND LOCATION: Located in the sought after Ribble Valley the site is situated in the centre of Mellor Brook Village, within easy reach of Preston (7 miles), Blackburn (4 miles), the pretty village of Whalley (9 miles) and historic town of Clitheroe (11 miles). Mellor Brook village is served by a local pub and restaurant and a bakery. DIRECTIONS: Just off the A59, the site is just 3 miles from junction 31 of the M6 motorway giving access to the main urban centres of Bolton and Manchester as well as the Fylde coast and Lake District to the North The Site The site fronts onto Mellor Brow with access via Victoria Terrace. The original buildings on the frontage consisted of the Pack Horse public house with adjoining service buildings which have more recently been converted and adapted for commercial use. To the rear of the buildings and edged by the stream from which Mellor Brook derives it's name, is a service area giving access to a field beyond. The site is further enhanced by a belt of mature woodland on the banking beyond the stream Planning permission has been granted for a new cul-de-sac, to adoptable standards, to be created off Mellor Brow, also improving access to the existing Victoria Terrace. This provides access to the development, with the frontage land being allocated for 9 apartments, each with individual 'front door' access. Adequate parking is then provided within the confines of the site, allowing space for a further drive and bridge to give access to the land at the rear, where permission has been granted for three detached properties. Approval has been granted to allow the stream to be diverted to increase the devolopable area, and for a series of small pedestrian bridges to be formed to give access to the apartments from the carpark. An existing culvert of the stream, running below the site of the adjacent Mill Cottage, is to be sealed off, and a new open stretch of stream formed to further enhance the rural nature of the detached houses. A small culvert is to be provided to this new stream to allow an alternative access into Mill Cottage Ownership The overall site is currently in two ownerships but is offered as a whole development opportunity. A section of land required for the new cul-de-sac forms part of the gardens of the two existing terraced houses at the end of Victoria Terrace. These properties are also in the ownership of the Vendors and the necessary land required for the roadway will be made available to the purchasers, on the basis that an agreed schedule of work is carried out in the form of necessary retaining and boundary walls being reinstated.
