Land at Hillworth Road, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 5HD

Description

The gross site area extends to approximately 4.3 hectares (10.6 acres) consisting of undeveloped greenfield land and is broadly rectangular in shape, as shown on the Illustrative Masterplan overleaf. The site has previously been used as agricultural pastureland and benefits from exceptional views to the south overlooking Hartmoor.

The site represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located site within a desirable village location with outline planning consent for 59 dwellings. The proposed scheme offers a fantastic development opportunity to deliver a residential scheme which is likely to attract strong consumer demand given the proximity to local amenities.

The location is highly sustainable for housing with the closest convenience store within a 4-minute walk to the east of the site and Hillworth Park within approximately a 10- minute walk towards the town centre.

Planning

The site benefits from outline planning consent from Wiltshire Council for residential development of up to 59 dwellings and associated works with all matters reserved except access (planning ref: PL/2022/00867). The consented scheme was granted outline planning permission at appeal on 13 October 2023.

Wiltshire Council’s CIL charging schedule (adopted May 2015) states the applicable rate for residential accommodation is £85/m², as the site falls within charging zone one, subject to indexation. A full schedule of the S106 financial contributions is available in the data room.

The outline consent seeks 30% of the total dwellings to be provided as affordable housing provision, comprising 60% Affordable Rented Units and 40% Shared Ownership Units. Of the total affordable housing provided, 10% are to be Adapted Units. The mix of the units, in terms of their size, is to be submitted at the time of any future Reserved Matters application.
