Water and electricity mains supply is nearby, and the plot will require private drainage to a septic tank.
Scottish Borders Council's will be seeking payment of Developer Contributions in relation to this development. A developer's contribution of £1957 is required under the Section 75 Agreement for affordable housing.
Directions: It is not advisable to use the post code for Sat Nav if travelling south bound on the A7 until you are actually in the town of Selkirk, as using it on the approach from Galashiels will misdirect you. Once in the town, then the post code of TD7 4PU can be used and will take you close, but not exactly to, the plot.
Coming from the South on the A7, drive past the garage on the left as you start to approach the town. Follow this road along a few hundred metres and then turn right into High School Lane. Turn right into the road with no through traffic sign and follow it along and past the new builds on your right. You will then come to a small car parking area and it is advisable to leave the car there and walk along to the plot, which is around 300 meters or so distant and sits next to Buxton House.
Coming from the North stay on the A7 and carry on through the town centre until you come to High School Lane on your left, then follow the above directions. What3words is jams.affair.gambles
