Land for Sale in Pear Tree Farm, Rugby, Warwickshire
A rare opportunity to own over 33 acres of pasture land for sale with permission to erect a large agricultural storage building near the entrance of the site. This building measures 30m x 15m and totals 450m2 (4,843 sq ft).
Though there is a long-held aim at County and District level to resist new residential development in the open countryside, one of the few exceptions to this rule is the provision of agricultural workers’ dwellings, where it can be clearly demonstrated that such are essential to the needs of a viable agricultural enterprise.
The construction of this large agricultural building could possibly lead to permission being granted for a mobile home on the site upon commencement of an agricultural enterprise. Furthermore, subject to the development of a sustainable business in agriculture, permission for a house could possibly be granted after three years.
The land benefits from excellent access and has the advantage of both mains water available to a drinking trough and a small pond on the southern boundary providing a natural water supply. The field is characterised by gently undulating, lush grassland and well defined boundaries of mature hedgerow and trees.
The site enjoys the benefits of the rural countryside, yet has a sense of residential inclusion, being located on the edge of Willoughby. This, combined with superb transport links increases the land’s investment potential.
This site is available freehold as a whole.
