This property presents a rare opportunity for residential development within the charming village of Urquhart, situated only 6 miles from Elgin. Covering approximately 1.42 hectares (3.50 acres), the site holds potential for constructing up to 20 family homes. Notably, a developer contribution fee of £21,932 has already been settled, which can streamline the development process. The northern outskirts of Urquhart offer an appealing location with direct access from Meft Road.
The eastern section of the site is designated R1 and has previously received full planning permission for 10 dwellings alongside necessary roads and landscaping (Moray Council planning ref: 20/00120/app - currently expired as of February 17, 2025). In addition to this, the western portion is earmarked for further housing in the MC Local Development Plan 2020 (long 1), allowing for an additional capacity of around 10 houses. All interested buyers should verify service availability on-site to ensure feasibility.
This development site not only benefits from its strategic location between Elgin and key cities like Aberdeen and Inverness but also from existing planning insights that could be revitalized or expanded upon, making it a promising investment.
