WHY BUY THIS LAND?
This a wonderful opportunity for you to own a beautiful parcel of undulating pasture land in a popular location.
The land is pleasantly situated on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border on the edge of the large village of Slip End, close to good amenities and excellent transport links.
The site can be accessed from Mancroft Road, from which the land enjoys road frontage. The land would be suitable for grazing, as a smallholding for hobby farming or for a variety of other recreational or amenity uses subject to any necessary planning consent. It should also be noted that there are several case of residential development within the Green Belt all within a mile of the land.
ACCESS
The land enjoys extensive road frontage onto Mancroft Road from where the land can be accessed via a secure gate. Full vehicular right of way is provided via an easement.
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
Central Bedfordshire Council's Local Plan states that whilst some development can take place beyond the Green Belt and within the existing urban areas, the total amount of land available is well below that needed to meet the requirements of the Plan and that some development is needed within the Green Belt.
There have been several cases of development within the Green Belt all within a mile of the land for sale.
Most notably is the proposed development of a "New Residential Retirement Care Village" (Planning Ref. CB/19/00032/FULL) which will see the creation of 158 new homes. This site borders the larger field that the land for sale is part of.
Other examples of development within the Green Belt include:
CB/20/03894/FULL
Erection of two new bungalows on land with stable block and outbuildings adjacent to 66 Woodside Road just 0.3 miles away.
CB/19/00469/OUT
Rural exception housing scheme comprising the erection of up to 19 dwellings on land at Mancroft Road just 0.8 miles away.
CB/15/00275/OUT
8 detached houses and 4 semi-detached houses on land previously used as a farm yard on Grove Road just 0.6 miles away. This development has been completed.
PLANNING
The Green Belt within Central Bedfordshire falls into two categories; 'inset' and 'washed over'. 'Inset' Green Belt settlements are excluded from the Green Belt. This means that within these settlements normal planning policy applies.
The land for sale in Slip End favourably falls under 'inset' Green Belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission, but normal planning policy applies.
OVERAGE
Uniquely there are no overage payments on this land - rare in today's land market.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
Central Bedfordshire Council
LAND VALUES
The average value of land is rising at the fastest rate since 2014. The price of bare land rose by almost 4% in the first quarter of this year, while annual growth hit 14%.
A continued lack of supply and strong demand from a wide range of purchasers - particularly from lifestyle and conservation-motivated buyers - continue to support prices.
As inflation soars, investors are also key buyers as they seek out tangible assets that act as an insurance against such rises. As ongoing economic uncertainty continues, land values are expected to rise even further.
