Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a fertile parcel of agricultural
land on the edge of Prees. The land is gently sloping, with
native hedgerows and a brook forming the boundaries. The
land is being used in arable crop rotation, but offers potential
for a variety of amenity, investment or agricultural uses.
The area totals 8.44 acres (3.42ha). Please note the vendor
would be willing to consider sub-dividing the land into smaller
parcels.
Location
The village of Prees is a popular residential area with a range
of local amenities in Central North Shropshire. Located just
off the A49 and three miles from the A41, this land offers excellent
road links to major conurbations such as Shrewsbury,
Telford, Chester, Wolverhampton and on to the national motorway
network.
Access
Access is gained from Shrewsbury Street, Prees, a Council
maintained highway, immediately south of Prees Industrial
Estate.
Single Farm Payment
The land is registered under the Single Farm Payment
Scheme. The entitlements are included in the sale, and will
be transferred. The land is not registered under any further
environmental schemes.
Development Potential
Due to the land being located adjacent the settlement boundary
of Prees, representations have been made to Shropshire
Council to allocate it as a future development site.
Within the Issues and Options document for “Site Allocations
and Management of Development DPD” published April 2010
by Shropshire Council, this land is highlighted as a ‘site for
consideration’ adjoining Prees.
Please note the vendor’s preference is to sell the site unencumbered,
without any clawback provision. Any enquiries
into the development potential of this land should be made to
Shropshire Council’s Planning Policy Team. The purchaser
will be deemed to have full knowledge of the planning issues
surrounding this land. Neither the vendor nor their agents
shall be responsible for providing advice on the development
potential of this land.
