Description

A building plot on Islay Road with planning consent approved by Fylde Borough Council under application 23/0309. The consent and some plans are included in the brochure, and prospective purchasers should check the planning conditions and confirm they are using the correct plan versions. The full plans are available through the council’s website. The drawings show a substantial detached home arranged over three floors, with a central entrance hall, a WC and two reception rooms on the ground floor. At the rear, the proposed living kitchen opens towards the garden, alongside a utility room and plant room, with access to the garage. The first floor is shown with a principal bedroom, dressing room and en-suite, plus two further bedrooms with dressing rooms and en-suites. Two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom are planned for the second floor. The property is in Lytham St Annes, where local amenities include shops, supermarkets, leisure facilities, bars and restaurants. Schools in the wider area include AKS, Kirkham Grammar School and Rossall School. The opportunity is to acquire the plot and progress the consented scheme, subject to checking the planning documents and conditions.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

38out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a building plot rather than a house to renovate: the existing site is vacant and overgrown, while the substantial detached home shown in the plans is proposed, not built. Approved planning consent and the included drawings give the project a defined starting point, with scope for a large family home featuring multiple reception rooms, a generous rear living-kitchen and ensuite bedrooms. The plot will need clearance and site preparation, and the consent, conditions and approved drawings should be checked before proceeding.

The WHOTS score is 38/100 (E, Low Opportunity). The £800,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sq ft because the floor area is missing; renovation economics are also insufficiently evidenced, and no renovation range is available. The extensive build and site-preparation programme is a substantial undertaking, while the sought-after Islay Road location is a positive.

Key opportunities

  • Create the substantial detached home shown in the proposed plans, with several reception rooms and a spacious rear living-kitchen.
  • Shape the planned family layout, including ensuite bedrooms and dressing rooms, around the approved drawings.
  • Clear and prepare the overgrown plot, then establish the proposed garden and outdoor setting.

Key risks

  • A vacant plot, overgrown vegetation and no completed dwelling make this a full-build and site-preparation programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and timescale will be materially different from an interior renovation.
  • Check the planning consent, conditions and correct approved drawings before proceeding.
  • Without a usable floor area, value versus local £/sq ft cannot be judged; renovation economics are also insufficiently evidenced.
