WHY BUY THIS LAND?
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.
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
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.
PLANNING
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.
The land is situated within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Any further development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
Sevenoaks District Council
OVERAGE
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.
PROPERTY PRICES
The land is situated within an affluent area. Property prices in Marsh Green are 169% above the national average. These premium house prices reflect the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land.
LAND VALUES
Pasture land prices in the region are 15% 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.
This imbalance between supply and demand doesn't look to change and will continue to drive up land values.
EQUESTRIAN
Several other parcels of land within the Green Belt and ½ mile from the land for sale have been granted planning permission for stable buildings.
The field next to the entrance of the land for sale was granted planning permission for 3 stables, a barn and tack room (Ref. 01/01494/FUL).
A parcel of land on Hartfield Road has been granted planning for a stable building totalling 105m2 consisting of 3 stables, a tack room and hay store (Ref. 20/02177/FUL).
Another parcel of land on Roman Road has been granted planning permission for the erection of a stable building, feed store and track room (Ref. 20/02950/FUL).
Furthermore, an extensive network of bridle paths can be found just a short distance from the land for sale and provide a long distance hack through some of the area's finest countryside.
The horse racing enthusiast can enjoy a day at the races at nearby Lingfield Park. As well as being a popular racecourse, Lingfield Park Resort also boasts an onsite luxury hotel, leisure club and a challenging golf course.
