Land for sale, Southport New Road, Banks PR9

Wignalls Chartered Surveyors are delighted to bring back to the market a fantastic opportunity to acquire 9.91 acres of land with the potential for development, subject to planning permission.

Following the DEC24 update of the National Planning Policy Framework, the lands development prospects have increased greatly over what they already were.

The land is now considered to fall within the definition of GREY BELT, which is defined as in essence, "land which does not STRONGLY contribute to any of purposes (a), (b) or (d) in paragraph 143 of the NPPF.

(a) - to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas - The site is defined by built form and development on two sides, and a main watercourse on another meaning sprawl is most certainly restricted.

(b) - to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another - The development of the site will not result in neighbouring towns merging.

(d) - to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns - Banks is not an Historic Town.

The above is yet to be tested, however we believe there is sufficient justification for challenging on GREY Belt basis subject to confirmation and permission from the Local Planning Authority.

The land is Freehold and is sure to attract the interest of builders and developers looking for their next project.

The method of sale is by Private Treaty.
