PlotDescription
A freehold development site on a sloping plot currently used for car parking, offered with vacant possession. A previous application, reference 21/0961/FUL, approved a scheme for eight two-bedroom town houses arranged over three floors, each with a stated floor area of 85 sqm. The permission has expired, so the proposal would need to be revisited with the local planning authority. The seller has indicated a willingness to reinstate the application and consider amendments before resubmission, but this is not a current planning consent.
The previous layout included private rear amenity areas, six on-site parking spaces, cycle storage and a communal bin store. The site is in a mixed residential and commercial area. Mains services have not been verified, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries about connections, access, ground conditions and the planning position. Further details of the former application are available through the Wyre Forest planning records.

27out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a development site rather than a renovation of an existing house: the photos show a surfaced car park on a sloping plot, with retaining structures, and no completed homes. A previous scheme for eight townhouses gives a starting point for imagining the site’s potential, but that permission has expired and any new planning feasibility needs to be checked.
Key opportunities
- Rework the sloping, currently surfaced plot into a residential scheme, using the former eight-home proposal as a reference point rather than a guaranteed outcome.
- Shape a new design around the site’s potential for homes with private amenity space and some on-site parking, subject to planning and technical feasibility.
Key risks
- A ground-up build across a sloping site is a substantial programme, with retaining structures and site works to assess; this is a major development project, not a cosmetic refresh.
- The £400,000 asking price is around 61% above the local average £/sqf, weakening the value case.
- The previous planning permission has expired, and the listing says services cannot be verified; both planning prospects and utility provision need investigation.
