OUTSTANDING DEVELOPMENT SITE BRATTON ROAD, BRATTON, , TF5 OBT

• Possibly the finest site of its size to reach the local market in recent years • 5.2 acres in semi-rural location • Resolution to grant OPP for 14 large detached houses • Technical pack available

INTRODUCTION

Surely one of the best development sites seen on the local market in recent years, this is a green field site with a resolution to grant outline planning permission for 14 large, detached private houses. Access, scale and layout of the houses has been approved at outline stage.

Our clients have a preference for unconditional offers.

LOCATION

The Site is located off Bratton Road, Bratton, which is a no-through-road to the north of the B4394 Shawbirch Road in Admaston near Wellington. The existing housing stock along Bratton Road is of a very high quality and sets the tone for the housing planned for this site.

The eastern boundary of the Site is formed by existing houses on Bratton Road, the southern boundary is formed by a private lane (Cheshire Coppice Lane) and the remainder of the site is bordered by open countryside.

Junction 7 of the M54 is approximately 2 miles away. Wellington railway station is approximately 1.5 mile away offering a link to Birmingham New Street in 44 minutes.

A location plan can be found to the rear of these sales details.

DESCRIPTION

The Site extends to approximately 5.2 acres (2.1 ha) and is generally level.

The majority of the Site is agricultural land apart from the proposed access road which is within the curtilage of a private dwelling, number 32 Bratton Road, owned by our clients. The proposed access road cuts through the garden and existing garage of 32 Bratton Road and so this area of land will be sold with the Site. The remainder of 32 Bratton Road, including the house itself, will be retained by our clients.

The purchaser of the Site will be responsible for demolishing the garage on 32 Bratton Road.

PLANNING

The Site lies within the jurisdiction of Telford & Wrekin Council. A resolution to grant planning permission was approved on 17th May 2017 under application reference TWC/2016/0978.

The description of development on the planning application is as follows:

“Outline application for 14 no. dwellings, access, layout and scale with all other matters reserved”

Planning permission is subject to the signature of a Section 106 Agreement which will contain the following financial contributions:

 Education contribution of £51,418  Affordable housing contribution of £375,820

 Recreation contribution of £600 per property (two bed or above) i.e. £8,400 based on 14 dwellings.

Total Section 106 contributions are therefore £435,638.

TECHNICAL

A ground investigation study has been instructed and will be available in September.

Surface water drainage will be via a balancing pond on site and soakaways on land to the west (which is not part of the site for sale) over which an easement will be granted to the successful purchaser.

There are foul sewers and associated easements crossing the site precluding development in those areas.

There are electricity cables crossing the site and there are discussions ongoing with the electricity provider about these cables being diverted or placed underground.

Please note that the purchaser will be required to demolish the garage of 32 Bratton Road within 6 months of securing their reserved matters planning permission on the site. The purchaser will also need to provide a highway access into 32 Bratton Road off the new access road into the site as per the approved layout plan.
