WHY BUY THIS LAND?
An extremely rare opportunity for you to own a good sized parcel of land in one of the UK's most prestigious locations. This gently sloping parcel of grazing land measures 2 acres, enjoys good road frontage and is enclosed in the main by a mixture of mature hedgerow and trees.
The land is superbly located on the northern edge of Marlow, an affluent town on the River Thames with an abundance of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Lying west of the A404, the area benefits from fantastic transport links making the site easily accessible from London, Oxford and the Midlands via the M40 and from London Heathrow and the South West via the M4.
House prices in Marlow are 136% above the national average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land. It's not surprising then to learn that there is a need for housing within the district and to that end the Local Plan has removed 6 sites from the Green Belt that wholly lie within the AONB and allocated them for development.
ACCESS
The site enjoys road frontage onto Seymour Plain from where the land can be accessed via a secure gate.
LAND VALUES
The average value of farmland in England and Wales has hit levels not seen since the beginning of 2017 with land values rising by almost 4% in the last quarter. This marks a third consecutive quarter of growth and takes annual growth to 5%.
Limited supply and strong demand are supporting values. Demand is increasingly being driven by investors and lifestyle purchasers who now account for over half of land buyers.
Agricultural land values in England and Wales have weathered Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic and look set to continue to rise.
PLANNING
The land is situated within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Green Belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
The local council's Wycombe District Local Plan was adopted in August 2019. The plan identifies the main areas where new homes will be created.
The Local Plan has removed 5 sites from the Green Belt that wholly lie within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and allocated them for residential development. Another has been allocated for commercial use.
The closest of these Green Belt & AONB sites is less than half a mile from the land for sale on Seymour Court Road. This 0.74 acre site has been allocated for residential development for an indicative 9 dwellings.
Another site just under a mile from the land for sale on High Heavens Wood measures 2.82 acres and has been allocated for residential development for an indicative 20 dwellings.
Of particular note is the land off Clappins Lane, Naphill - just under 6 miles from the land for sale. This 5.58 acre site lies within the Green Belt and AONB and has been granted planning permission for 63 new homes (Ref. 19/08031/FUL).
LOCAL AUTHORITY
Buckinghamshire Council (Wycombe District)
HOUSE PRICES
The land is situated within an extremely affluent area where house prices in Marlow are 65% above the regional average and 136% above the national average. These premium house prices reflect the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land.
