A well-located residential development site with detailed planning permission for 24 open market 2 bed apartments.
The site is brownfield and broadly level, sloping gently from north to south. The site was formerly occupied by garages, backing onto three lines of Victorian terraces to the east, south, and west. To the north is a continuation of the space between terraces (which benefits from vehicular access over the site). The northern parcel includes mature vegetation and extends up to a hall included within its northern boundary. The gross area totals 0.86 acres (0.35 ha). Full rights of vehicular access are achievable from the eastern access. There are multiple access points for pedestrian access, and servicing for the scheme can be achieved using the eastern or southern routes onto Victoria or Lyde Road.
Location Details
Yeovil has a population of around 50,000 and is a major employment centre. The site is located on the eastern side of Yeovil and benefits from strong local transport links, making it a highly sustainable location. Yeovil Pen Mill train station is 0.4 miles (4 minute walk) to the south, which in turn provides connecting trains to London and Exeter. Yeovil Country Park can be accessed within a 5 minute walk, with food retail offerings also in close proximity. The market town of Sherborne is 5 miles to the east by road (9 minute drive) and the town centre is less than a mile to the west, accessible within a 20 minute walk.
Planning
The property has an extant details permission so can be progressed in line with the existing consent or amended/resubmitted to suit the purchasers requirements. Originally an application for outline planning permission (Ref 04/03599/OUT) was submitted to South Somerset District Council (now Somerset Council) which was refused on 12th May 2005. The decision was successfully appealed with the appeal decision (Ref APP/R3325/A/05/1193782) awarded on 24th July 2006. The planning consent and all conditions have since been discharged and confirmation of implementation of planning can be provided. Application for approval of Reserved Matters was granted under application ref: 09/02146/REM on 16th October 2009.
