Comb Hill, Haltwhistle, NE49

DESCRIPTION
An opportunity to purchase a sizeable development site with full planning permission (ref:21/03827/FUL) situated on the outskirts (approx. 0.5 miles) of the market town of Haltwhistle. The site extends to circa 0.42 hectares (1.05 acres) and is in an elevated position. Consequently, the site has the benefit of stunning and uninterrupted views, whilst still been close to the town and all its amenities.

The planning permission granted on the 5th August 2022 with the proposal being the conversion of agricultural buildings to create five residential properties including partial demolition, parking, landscaping and garaging. The proposal includes one four bedroomed detached house, two three bedroom detached houses and a further two four bedroomed semi detached houses. All of the proposed houses include car parking and/or a garage and offer generous garden and amenity space. Moreover, the proposals are for barn conversions and a consequence the expectation is that the dwellings will be full of character yet with a modern theme.

The size and scope of the site, does however lend itself to further development and in doing so, depending on how much development was sought the amenity and garden space on offer wouldn't be overly compromised. Any such changes to the existing proposal would require the necessary consent to be sought and granted.

In any event, any dwellings on the site would benefit from stunning and unique views. The availability of such is rare and consequently it is envisaged that the dwellings would be sought after.

The site benefits from excellent access direct to a public highway. Furthermore, the site is predominately flat suggesting it would be easily worked. There is mains water and electricity already to the site and the drainage (for its current use) is excellent.

The vendor would like to retain a right off access, for residential purposes, to the land as hatched blue on the plan with access to all services, whether existing or future, also to be retained. The exact location of this access can be negotiated, so as not to compromise the proposal and layout of any development.

Full details of the planning application and the conditions are available from the selling agent and/or Northumberland County Councils website.
