Residential Development Site
3.16 Acres of Allocated Land
Indicative plans for 44 Dwellings with a pre-app response
Date for Offers: 26th February 2026
Description
3.16 acres of Agricultural land with an allocation for '40 Dwellings'. A positive pre-app response from Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council (Available upon Request) summarises;
'Subject to the status of the local plan, we would be supportive of the principle of residential development of the site subject to other key material considerations.'
The vendor is willing to listen to both conditional & unconditional proposals.
Location
St Martins Road is ideally positioned in the heart of Talke, offering a prominent residential setting with excellent access to everyday amenities. The site sits within a short distance of popular local schools, convenient shopping facilities, and the nearby retail parks at Talke and Kidsgrove. Commuters benefit from swift road links to the A34 and A500, connecting easily to Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent, and the wider Cheshire and Staffordshire road network.
Planning & Supporting Information.
The site at St Martins Road has been allocated for housing in the emerging local plan for Newcastle-under-Lyme.
An Info Pack is available on request but here are the key details of the allocation:
Policy id: TK17
Use: Housing
Capacity: 40 dwellings
Site Area: 1.24 hectares
Key Development Considerations
For any development to go ahead, the council has outlined several requirements that need to be addressed. These include:
Access - Main access to the site must be from St Martins Road.
Design - The development needs to be "landscape-led, " meaning it should retain existing trees and hedgerows where possible and not be intrusive to surrounding views.
Heritage - A Heritage Impact Assessment is required due to the proximity of Harecastle Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building.
Assessments - Several assessments are needed, covering potential risks from coal mining, land contamination, noise from the nearby A34 and A500, and archaeological remains.
Infrastructure - The developer will need to provide and fund enhancements to local pedestrian/cycle routes and contribute financially to local schools, health facilities, and improvements at the Talke Signals junction.
Flood Risk - A sequential approach to development is required, prioritising areas with the lowest flood risk.
This allocation indicates that the council is in favour of residential development on this site in principle, provided these specific conditions are met.
