LAST LOT REMAINING!
On Marsh Green Road in Marsh Green, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 5PT
A desirable opportunity for you to own a parcel of land on the edge of the beautiful and affluent hamlet of Marsh Green in Edenbridge.
Measuring over 10 acres in total, the site is divided into two principal fields, both of which are enclosed by a mixture of mature trees, hedgerow and stock proof fence. The site enjoys extensive road frontage and excellent access that has been set-back from the road.
For sale as a whole or in lots, the land is flat and of good pasture, making it ideal for equestrian use with good outriding in the area. Furthermore, the land has been granted planning permission for two stables, a tack room and hay barn – the concrete base for which has already been laid in the western corner of Lot A.
Pleasantly situated close to housing with excellent transport links, the land could also offer some long-term development potential as over 800 new homes are earmarked for development on Green Belt land around Edenbridge.
All lots enjoy extensive road frontage onto Marsh Green Road. Excellent and secure access is provided via a gated entrance in the north-eastern corner of the land that is newly improved and set back from the road. Full vehicular right of way is provided to all lots via an easement.
The land was granted planning permission for the construction of two stables, a tack room and hay barn in August 2012 under planning reference 12/01550/FUL. The concrete base for this was laid within the 3 year implementation period and lies in the western corner of Lot A.
The land is situated within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Any further development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.
Approx. 1.5 miles from the land for sale, outline planning permission has been granted on Green Belt land south of Four Elms Road & east of Bray Road for the erection of 340 dwellings, a new secondary school and other amenities (Ref. 20/02988/OUT).
This follows the successful appeal for the development of 300 new homes on land west of St Johns Way, which was formerly within the Green Belt and just 1.6 miles from the land for sale (Ref. 14/03783/OUT).
Furthermore, Sevenoaks District Council’s new draft Local Plan 2040 states that in order to meet meet the District’s housing needs of 10,680 new homes between 2025 and 2040, some Green Belt sites will need to be considered for development. Over 800 of these new homes are earmarked for development on Green Belt land around Edenbridge.
It also goes on to say that National Policy requires that at least 10% of these new homes are built on sites no larger than 1 hectare (2.47 acres).
The land is subject to an Overage based on 25% of any uplift in value following the grant of planning permission for development other than that which is for agricultural or equestrian purposes. The Overage period is 20 years from March 2023.
It is important to note that the Overage is not payable on any natural increase in land values.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession on completion.
Land values rose again last year.
Pasture land prices in the region are 14% higher than the national average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.
With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers.
This is supported by that fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.
