Willsons are pleased to be able to offer for sale this unique opportunity to purchase a superior building plot with 12.83 acres of pastureland lying immediately adjacent to Julian Bower, on the outskirts of the market town of Louth in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The vendor, for his own use, retained plot 11 but is now surplus to requirement.

The sale of the plot and land offers an ideal opportunity for a purchaser to build an attractive and substantial house with land possibly for equestrian use (subject to obtaining planning consent).

Location And Access - In due course the vehicular access to the building plot will be provided by the adjoining developer via the Meridian View estate over Bluestone Rise which leads on to Saxon Way and Roman Way.

Both the building plot and pastureland can currently be accessed via Julian Bower which leads off London Road (B1520). The location should be identified by a 'For Sale' board situated on the plot.

Planning Permission - Full planning permission was granted on 11th November 2019 (Application No. N/105/01436/18) the application included "the erection of 11no. houses with attached double garages and 3no. houses with detached double garages, construction of vehicular/pedestrian accesses and internal access roads and the provision of public open space and compensatory habitat area". 13 out of the 14 building plots have been sold to the adjoining developer. The vendor, for his own use, retained plot 11 but is now surplus to requirement. All relevant documents relating to the Planning Application can be viewed on the website of East Lindsey District Council (planning). Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to make themselves fully aware of all the information displayed on the website.

Tenure & Possession - The Freehold interest in both the building plot and the pastureland is being offered for sale with full vacant possession upon completion. (The land will be grazed or mown for the current growing season.)

Services - Mains water, electricity, drainage and gas will be made available by the adjoining developer. There is an existing mains-fed water trough on the pastureland.

Maintenance Contribution - The purchaser of the building plot will be responsible for proportionally contributing to the maintenance of roads, hard surfaces and open areas within the development site (14 dwellings).

Boundaries - The southern and western boundaries of the building plot are as existing with the remaining boundaries being pegged on site (the ownership of all the boundaries has been retained by the vendor). The boundaries of the pastureland are clearly defined on site. The purchaser shall be deemed to have full knowledge of all boundaries and neither the vendor nor the selling agent will be responsible for defining the boundaries nor their ownership.

Dimensions (Approximate) - Please see the measurements as detailed on the site plan. The total area of the building plot is believed to measure 1,569m2 or 0.388 of an acre.

Hm Land Registry - Both the building plot and the pastureland are title number LL153926.

Wildlife Area - As part of the planning requirements, the developer has created a wildlife area which immediately adjoins the pastureland.

The developer has the benefit of a right of way from Julian Bower along the inside of the northern boundary of the pastureland leading to the wildlife area.

Restrictions, Easements, Wayleaves & Rights Of Way - Please see the comments above regarding the developer's access to the wildlife area. The pastureland is crossed by an underground Anglian Water mains sewer pipe. It is believed that Julian Bower is a privately owned road therefore some liability towards upkeep and maintenance is to be anticipated (the vendor has never had to contribute to date).

The building plot is being offered for sale by the vendor "having the benefit of all access rights and the availability of services at no additional cost to the vendor".

Due to the close proximity of the pastureland to the development area for Louth, it is being sold subject to an Overage Clause with the vendor retaining 40% of the net uplift in value for any non-agricultural or equestrian use payable upon the sale of the land or commencement of development for 30 years from the date of completion.

Anti Money Laundering - In accordance with the most recent Anti Money Laundering legislation the purchaser will be required to provide proof of identity and proof of funds to the selling agent once an offer has been submitted and accepted (subject to contract) prior to solicitors being instructed.

Viewing - Both the building plot and the pastureland should only be accessed and viewed via Julian Bower (due to the health and safety issues regarding the adjoining development site). A small opening in the southern boundary hedge has been created in order to give access to the building plot. Viewing is permitted during daylight hours and a set of these particulars should be to hand when viewing. Anyone viewing is responsible for their own safety and should take care of any potential hazards whilst upon the land.

Outgoings - Rates (believed to be £2.7923 per hectare) are payable annually to the Environment Agency for the pastureland.
