Land With Development Potential Stpp
Whitefield, M45 - Get Access
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a freehold residential development site situated within the highly regarded suburban district of Whitefield. The site extends to approximately 0.15 acres (0.06 hectares) and comprises a generally level, regular-shaped parcel of brownfield land occupying a prominent position fronting Westlands within an established residential neighbourhood. The plot benefits from direct road access and is bounded by existing residential properties, providing an attractive infill development opportunity within a mature and desirable setting. Westlands is a residential road located within the Whitefield area of Greater Manchester, approximately 6 miles north of Manchester city centre. The land falls within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and the surrounding area is predominantly residential, characterised by detached and semi-detached housing with nearby mature greenery and open space. The site at 6 Westlands occupies a substantial plot with an overgrown rear garden area enclosed by timber fencing and mature vegetation, providing a good degree of privacy. The land includes grassed and hardstanding areas with potential for landscaping or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents. Historically, the site has been the subject of several planning applications for residential development, including consent for a detached dwelling and a subsequent approval for a four-apartment scheme. Whilst previous permissions have now lapsed, the planning history demonstrates the site's established residential development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary statutory consents. The land is currently vacant and cleared of permanent structures, offering purchasers a blank canvas for redevelopment. Services are understood to be readily available in the immediate vicinity, including mains electricity, water, gas, drainage and telecommunications connections. Given its size, configuration and location, the site is considered suitable for a range of residential development proposals, including a bespoke detached dwelling, executive family home, or a small-scale residential scheme, subject to planning permission. The property benefits from convenient access to the A56, M60, and M66 motorway networks, providing good connections across Greater Manchester. Public transport links are available via local bus routes and nearby Manchester Metrolink stops at Whitefield and Besses o' th' Barn, offering regular services into Manchester city centre and surrounding areas.
