PLANNING HISTORY

There are no current or past planning applications on the land.

LOCAL AUTHORITY

Bromsgrove District Council

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

Several parcels of land nearby have erected small-scale agricultural buildings. Furthermore, two barns off the same private driveway as the land for sale have been converted into new homes (Planning Ref. B/19945/1990 & Planning Ref. 11/0161).

LAND VALUES

Pasture land prices in the region are 20% higher than the national average as land values rose by 5% last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.

With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers. This is supported by that fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.

These rises are driven by historically low levels of land availability, as demand continues to outstrip supply.

METHOD OF SALE

The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession on completion.
