LAND AT GREY FARM, HIGH STREET, WHEATON ASTON, STAFFORD, ST19 9NP

INTRODUCTION

A prime development site of approximately 0.46 acres in a highly desirable village location with full planning permission for nine dwellings. Reserved matters have been approved hence the site is ready to be developed without delay. Offers are invited on an unconditional basis.

LOCATION

The site is located within the village of Wheaton Aston, Staffordshire, approximately 9 miles southwest of Stafford and 7 miles west of Cannock.
Junction 12 of the M6 is only 5 miles away giving easy access to Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Close proximity to the M54, A449 and A5 provide easy access to Stafford, Cannock, Telford and Shrewsbury.
The village of Wheaton Aston has pubs, a village shop, doctor’s surgery and a primary school all of which are within walking distance of the site.

DESCRIPTION

The site extends to approximately 0.46 acres and is an irregular shape, being bordered on all sides by existing residential development. A site plan can be found on page four of these sales details.
Access to the site is off High Street adjacent to Grey House Farm which is also owned by our client and is not part of the property for sale.

The site comprises a former farmyard and part of the rear garden to Grey House Farm and is generally level.

PLANNING

The site lies within the jurisdiction of South Staffordshire Council. Planning permission was granted on 23rd October 2014 under application reference 13/00799/OUT.
A Section 106 Agreement accompanies the planning permission which requires that two of the units shall be “Affordable Units” however planning policies have since changed so we believe that it will be possible to seek removal of this requirement.

A reserved matters approval was secured on 28th November 2024 covering the following:
“Approval of Reserved Matters for the Scale: The height, width, length and overall appearance of each of the buildings. The Appearance: The visual impression. The Landscaping: Private and public space (hard and soft landscaping) pursuant to 13/00799/OUT for a residential development of nine properties”
