Property Description

This site represents an excellent opportunity to purchase land with development potential. It is located on the outskirts of Wooler, which has steadily grown in popularity for both home owners and holidaymakers. In 2016 planning permission was granted for the construction of seven detached dwellings. Whilst this has now expired, the owner approached the local planners in 2019 with a pre application for nine, three bedroomed detached houses, which received a positive response. Well placed on the edge of the Northumberland National Park and close to all local amenities.

The response from Northumberland CC was positive and included the following wording:

In the event that a planning application is submitted, it would be likely to be looked upon favourably.'
