Description

* * new proposed scheme **

A new scheme is currently being progressed for 10 dwellings on this 0.75-acre site, comprising:
* 8 semi-detached three-bedroom homes *
* 2 detached three-bedroom homes *
* (subject to design finalisation)

This site already has detailed planning consent for six detached dwellings and is almost shovel-ready, with the main pre-commencement conditions discharged. To widen interest in the site, a Pre-application Enquiry has recently been submitted to Newcastle Borough Council, and the feedback indicates they would be supportive of the new scheme (subject to final approval). This feedback can be provided to interested parties on request.

The site has a semi-rural ambience, overlooking designated open space, and is conveniently located close to Silverdale village and within approximately 1.5 miles of Keele University.

** Existing approved detailed planning permission **

Detailed Planning Permission has been previously granted-and remains valid-for the construction of:
* 4 detached four-bedroom homes
* 2 detached three-bedroom homes

All homes have been designed to utilise loft space and could be reconfigured to accommodate at least five bedrooms, subject to the necessary consents.

The finished development, in either scenario, will create a desirable cul-de-sac with the potential for a gated access from Church Lane and optional communal green space within the site.

The approved plans feature a thoughtfully designed layout providing larger-than-average new-build homes, including spacious open-plan living areas, separate reception rooms, study rooms, ensuite bedrooms and generous external spaces.

Plot 6 in particular benefits from a large detached garage, open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, a spacious master bedroom and a substantial private garden, with the opportunity to be gated for added security.

A Phase 2 Ground Investigation has been completed, and the main pre-commencement conditions have been discharged with no material concerns. Site works could therefore commence within weeks, subject only to one remaining condition, which is currently being progressed and will be discharged by the vendor.

This rare opportunity is ideal for a small to medium-sized builder or developer seeking their next project for 2026. Any informed party reviewing the Title will note that it currently includes a restrictive pre-emption clause; however, this will be removed by the vendor prior to completion.

The site can be inspected from the public highway, and further particulars can be viewed on the Newcastle-under-Lyme Planning Portal: Planning Reference 22/00621/ful.
