Hawfield Lane, Winshill, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, DE15 0DQ
An excellent opportunity to purchase up to 67 acres of pasture land on the county borders of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, in the 'Heart of England'. This unique location results in a superb network of transport links, making it a popular site for commuters working in the nearby major towns and cities.
The land benefits from well defined, natural boundaries throughout, consisting of mature hedgerows and trees. The site has good access from both Sales Lane and Hawfield Lane via securely gated and level entrance points.
There is a small stream that borders the site to the north providing a natural water supply. Lot 2 contains a portion of woodland adding to its appeal and character.
The land is located on the edge of Winshill; a parish in Burton-upon-Trent. Winshill has been transformed from a small settlement into a large village with important housing for workers in Burton.
The site's edge of town location and excellent transport links, combined with several proposals for development on greenbelt land in the rapidly developing town of Burton, enhances its investment potential greatly.
A secure gated entrance to Lot 1 is provided by a track off Sales Lane. The remaining lots are accessed from 4 separate gated entrances off Hawfield Lane.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.
Burton-upon-Trent will be the location of the National Football Centre (NFC), due to be opened in 2010. This planned centre for football is to be run by the FA and is intended to be the training base for all England teams and act as the focal point for the FA’s coaching and player development work.
The development is set to include 13 pitches, a media centre and accommodation for up to 300 people. This new centre will create many new jobs and is to be built on a 360-acre swathe of greenbelt land.
There are also plans to build a 5,700 home eco town between Burton and Swadlincote on over 360 acres that will encroach on greenbelt land.
Plans for this eco town have been submitted as part of the Government’s aim to create 10 carbon neutral towns nationwide.
Developers claim the project will create 3,000 new jobs and consist of schools, a town centre with retail units and offices, community and learning resource centres, places of worship, a health clinic, parks and open spaces including allotments, and roads, footpaths and cycleways linking it to Swadlincote and Burton.
Furthermore, up to 850 homes could be built on 46 hectares of green field land between nearby Outwoods and Horninglow. A small centre with shops, nursery, medical centre, outdoor sports pitches, play area and school are also proposed.
The region has to find a large number of houses over the next few years with its spatial strategy and it can’t just build on brownfield land.
The possibility of Burton being required to build even more housing is a real one. The West Midlands Regional Assembly has already advised the Government that East Staffordshire has the capacity for around 13,000 new homes.
However, the Government has ordered consultants to conduct a study as it feels that the numbers proposed by the assembly are too low. This could see an extra 5,000 homes being built in Burton over the next 20 years.
The report hints it will be likely that virtually all of the extra homes will be built on greenbelt land close to Burton.
It has been suggested that South Derbyshire could absorb some of the impact of the housing boom in East Staffordshire. The site’s prime position on the county border enhances its investment and development potential greatly.
The land is designated within the Greenbelt and any development would be subject to planning permission.
Land values have risen by 6% in the last year.
Pasture land prices in the region are 22% higher than the average as land values continued to rise last quarter. In the past year, land values have risen 6%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK house prices and interest from savings in the bank.
These increases are also outpacing inflation as land continues to be seen as a tangible safe-haven for investment. Investors are also competing with a wide variety of lifestyle and environmentally-motivated buyers as demand once again outstrips supply.
