AGENTS COMMENTS
This is a very special opportunity indeed, hidden from the road, in the heart of Far Forest just moments from the village pub and shop, within 150m. This forever popular village sits in a highly accessible location about 3.5 miles west of the Georgian riverside town of Bewdley. Another nearby and vibrant local town is Cleobury Mortimer which is about 5 miles. In the immediate surrounding area there are many bridleways offering excellent riding and walking opportunities. This outstandingly beautiful part of North Worcestershire is also dominated by the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve which spreads out over some 6,000 acres!
THE PROPERTIES (AS DRAWN)
Below are the approximate Gross Internal Area (GIA’s) as per the approved drawing prepared by Central Building Design. The aggregate GIA total is 734m2, as follows:-
• Plot 1 = 3-Bedroom Bungalow (150 square metres)
• Plot 2 = 4-Bedroom Two Storey Dwelling (217square metres)
• Plot 3 = 3-Bedroom Bungalow (150 square metres)
• Plot 4 = 4-Bedroom Two Storey Dwelling (217 square metres)
THE PLOT
See appended to these details a ‘plans ahead’, Ordnance Survey based, location plan which was used as part of the planning application. This shows the plot area to be sold edged in red. The access will be shared with the existing property -Orchard House - and therefore access rights for Orchard House will be retained. The approved site plan drawing also illustrates that the existing retaining wall on the access is to be demolished and a new one built.
BACKGROUND
The site has Outline Planning Permission under application number 22/0997/OUT, dated 23 February 2024. A copy of the Decision Notice, along with the approved plans and supporting documents, are available upon request and can also be emailed. The Decision Notice refers to the approved scheme as – “Outline application for the erection of four dwellings with access from A4117 with all other matters reserved. Orchard House Cleobury Road Far Forest”. Also related to 22/0997/OUT is an important appeal decision under APP/R1845/W/24/3342856, dated 1 October 2024. The effect of the appeal decision is that this removes Condition 12 from 22/0997/OUT.
The site is currently garden land to Orchard House, DY14 9TE. The seller plans to retain ownership of Orchard House. However, it could be made available by separate negotiation, if desired.
