Land for sale

Rashleigh Road, Duporth PL26

The site


This prime residential development site with stunning sea/coastal views extends in total to approximately 1.16 hectares (2.87 acres) and is located on the southern fringe of Duporth Village, just up from Duporth Beach, a private beach which can be accessed by the residents of the proposed dwellings. The planning approved area for the 10 dwellings extends to approximately 0.69 hectares (1.7acres) on land which falls from north to south. The site is to be served by two accesses off Rashleigh Road, the access serving plots 1-4 is yet to be formed, the access and road serving plots 5-10 has been commenced and initially leads through a wooded area on the west side of the curtilage.

Whilst construction work on the site has commenced, all works are currently on hold and we are advised as below, the site status when works stopped:
- Lower road c.1 week from Tarmac (kerb brace to be placed)
- Plot 5 foundations completed, Plot 10 foundations excavated
- Plots 8,9,10 reduced level excavation c.50% complete
- Temporary Beton wall is in place
- Lower drainage is c.80% completed

The site was originally consented for development by Linden Homes (as Phase 4), subsequently acquired by Bovis Homes (now Vistry Homes) and we understand they deemed the site too small to develop. This phase forms the final and lower part of a larger completed high quality development originally known as Two Coves.
