Opportunity - A rare opportunity to acquire a small high quality residential site in an increasingly popular area, demonstrated by the sales success on the adjacent development. The site is currently vacant greenfield agricultural land, with the benefit of detailed planning consent granted on 7th July 2023. Infrastructure readily available for connection from the adjacent site.
Location - The freehold site is located in the market town of Wooler, Northumberland. Situated on the edge of Northumberland National Park and at the foot of the Cheviot Hills. Wooler is an attractive stone built town in North Northumberland, 14 miles from the coast at Bamburgh to the east, 17 miles from Berwick-upon Tweed to the north, and 47 miles to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the south. The site is appropriately 0.3 miles from the A697 road which links Newcastle-upon Tyne with Edinburgh, 62 miles north. Wooler town centre consists of a busy main street, with a wealth of traditional pubs, modern restaurants, churches, speciality boutiques, shops, and local producers, offering everything you would expect in a charming market town. The Glendale Gateway Trust serves the local community hosting the U3A, gatherings for retired folk, film nights, history talks, art class, yoga, badmington etc. etc
Description - The site is well situated, and is accessed by way of a road, Hedgehope Drive, which has been built to adoptable standards by others. The site is vacant undeveloped agricultural land, which contains a raised area in which drainage pipes run. It is envisaged that the land on both sides of this raised area will also be raised by the importation of clean clay. To the east is a woodland, owned by the vendor. To the south is the existing Kingsmead development, to the west is an access track, beyond which is agricultural land and the Wooler Water which has a permissive footpath along its banks, easily accessed from the site. To the north is the sustainable urban drainage pond. There are no mature trees within the site boundary.
Planning - The site benefits from a detailed planning consent for the construction of 12 dwellings granted on 7th July 2023. There are 26 planning conditions, none of which are considered onerous, and a section 106 agreement which requires the payment of £23,939.02 open space contribution and £8,700 healthcare contribution, which are the subject of indexing.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
