Bolshaw Farm, Bolshaw Farm Lane, Heald Green, Cheadle, SK8 3JZ
A rare opportunity to purchase a strategic parcel of investment land totalling approx. 6 acres close to existing housing and residential development. Currently in agricultural use the land has strong development potential and is available freehold as a whole or in lots.
The site is superbly located within the south side of Greater Manchester between the affluent and thriving towns of Wilmslow and Cheadle, close to the current A555 Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road.
A proportion of the land for sale features within the Local Plan for the proposed extension of the A555 Manchester Airport Link Road, which has recently been granted a £165m boost in government funding by the Secretary of State for Transport.
This relief road project has been welcomed by local politicians and business leaders and is important to improving access to the Airport and relieving traffic congestion.
It is considered that this relief road extension may open up the reasonable prospect of securing planning consent on the land. Given its location, catchment area and connectivity, the site has been considered as a potential area for residential and / or commercial development in the medium to long term.
Access to the site is off the well constructed and maintained Bolshaw Farm Lane via a securely gated entrance area. It is intended that Bolshaw Farm Lane will be adopted under a Section 38 agreement.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.
According to the Stockport Council’s Housing Need Study published in September 2008, there is a significant need and shortfall of affordable housing in the Borough.
It reports that after allowing for existing stock, there will be a total annual affordable housing shortfall of 519 units.
Based on the average supply of 50 units over the last two years, the level of annual shortfall is over 10 times the number of units built, resulting in growing levels of unmet need each year.
Land supply is crucial to the provision of housing. There are currently competing demands from both the housing and economic development sectors which is putting pressure on the green belt.
The land forms part of Bolshaw Farm which has benefitted from the recent conversion and development of residential dwellings.
The site is allocated within the Macclesfield Local Plan as being part of the North Cheshire Green Belt.
A proportion of the land is safeguarded within the Local Plan for the proposed extension of the A555 Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road.
It is considered that reallocation of the land may be pursued through the Local Development Framework review process and, subject to progress of the proposed Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road extension, that there is a reasonable prospect of securing further planning consent on the land in the medium to long term.
Any development would be subject to planning consent./p>
Land values rise by 3% in the last quarter.
Land values continued to rise last year and even managed to outpace inflation, according to the Knight Frank Farmland Index. Following a 3% increase in the last quarter, farmland outperformed other asset classes such as gold, equities and residential property in the past 12 months.
