Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Small residential development project
  • Lovely rural location
  • Located on a quiet country lane
  • Ability to create own design style (subject to planning)
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH LAPSED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR 2 SEMI DETACHED HOUSES.

STATUS The two plots on offer benefits from lapsed planning permission (1997), for 2 x three bedroom semi detached family homes. Planning permission was granted in the late 1990s for 6 dwelling houses at Hoprig Square [97/00434/FUL]. An outline proposal to resubmit planning was drawn up in 2019. The drawings from this outline Planning permission proposal (not finalised) was drawn up in 2019 to reapply but subsequently withdrawn. Historical foundations have been laid, but are in but well over grown and may likely need to be replaced under a new application.

From October 2020, the Planning Officer for Scottish Borders Council believes that a new application for planning permission could be supported for two units at this site.

LOCATION Set on a quiet country lane crossroads, the development site sits just south of Oldhamstocks and west of Cockburnspath. Located close to The Lammermuirs and renowned East Lothian coast, the area is an ideal location for easy access to the county's numerous sandy beaches, countryside walks and the John Muir Coastal trail. Nearby Innerwick (5.5 miles) is within easy reach and has a much used village hall, historic church and primary school with Dunbar Grammar school only 15 minutes away by car. Dunbar itself offers a wide selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and has a sports centre, swimming pool, East Links Family Farm Park and two golf courses. Access to the A1 provides easy commuting by car to Edinburgh with Dunbar railway station providing regular connections to Edinburgh and London.

DISTANCES: Dunbar railway station 9 miles, Berwick-upon-Tweed railway station 21 miles, Edinburgh 37 miles (all distances are approximate).

PROPOSAL The proposal is to develop two three/four bed semi detached family homes within the site. The site is relatively level and existing access points are to remain.

SERVICES It is believed the property is served by mains electricity, mains water and mains drainage.

PLANNING Lapsed Planning Permission from 1997 (97/00434/FUL)

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on October 3, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
