North Ness, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1

Reference - KA0673

Occupying a position within North Ness Business Park in Lerwick, this site offers a genuine opportunity to create a new home within easy reach of the town centre, harbour and everyday amenities.

The site previously benefitted from Planning Permission in Principle (ref. 2018/357/ppp), granted by Shetland Islands Council on 13 May 2019, for the erection of a two-storey, one-bedroom house, with approved drawings including a location plan and site plan. The principle of residential development here was accepted subject to conditions covering vehicular access, parking and turning provision, drainage and design. As this was permission in principle only, and the standard time limits for commencement have since passed without a follow-up application being submitted, the consent should be treated as lapsed - interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with Shetland Islands Council's Planning Service regarding current planning status before proceeding.

A core path runs along the site's eastern boundary, and the plot's North Ness setting puts it within easy walking distance of Lerwick's harbour, shops and town centre, a convenient base for a new build in the heart of Shetland's capital.
