    • Centre of Himley Village
    • Undeveloped greenfield land
    • Pre application planning enquiry submitted

    Description

    • The site area extends to approximately 3.06 acres (1.24 hectares) gross and our understanding of the site boundary is edged red above
    • The site is currently undeveloped greenfield land, used for grazing. The boundaries are delineated by a mix of hedges and fences. The site benefits from a gated access leading from Plantation Lane off School Road to the west. Plantation Lane is an unadopted private road that serves a number of residential properties
    • The southern, western and eastern boundaries of the site adjoin existing residential properties. The more recent residential development adjacent to the eastern boundary comprises a flatted sheltered housing scheme and a number of retirement bungalows. These are served by Churns Hill Lane, which is a private road off School Road
    • The site has a small frontage onto School Road to the south and adjoins garden and existing pasture land to the north/north-east
    • We understand that all mains water, gas, electricity and BT are available within the adjoining roads. Foul and surface water drainage currently run within the site and within adjoining roads (prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves in respect of the provision, capacity and sustainability of all services and drainage either on or off site)

    Additional information

    Tenure

    Freehold.

    Planning

    • A pre-application planning enquiry was historically submitted to South Staffordshire Council exploring the possibility of residential development on the site. This confirms that “the principle of residential development on part of the site is acceptable in policy terms”. This relates to the northern extent of the site which extends to circa 1.48 acres (0.6 hectares) gross and which falls within the designated settlement boundary. The remaining southern portion of the site is designated as greenbelt and is currently protected from development, and will be subject to an overage as part of the sale.
    • The site is listed within the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) 2016 housing land supply. The site is listed as The Limes, Plantation Lane under reference number 335b. It is understood that the site was previously the subject of an application for residential development submitted in 1994, Ref No 94/00035/FUL, which received a resolution to approve consent.
    • Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves in respect of any planning matters and details can be obtained from South Staffordshire Council Planning department (01902 696000).
