7 Barn Conversions Class Q Persmission

An opportunity to acquire a prominent freehold development site fronting the A17 at Wigtoft, offered for sale with vacant possession and benefiting from a range of existing planning consents and future development potential.

The site currently benefits from planning permission for the construction of 7 new dwellings, providing an attractive residential scheme in a highly visible and accessible location. In addition, there are two separate Class Q planning permissions, offering further scope for conversion and alternative development strategies.

Comprising a mixture of modern and traditional farm buildings, the property presents a versatile opportunity for developers, investors and promoters. The combination of existing consents, established buildings and the prominent roadside position makes the site particularly well suited to a revised or enhanced planning application, or as a strong “fallback” position to support future planning negotiations.

The site occupies a high-profile position on the A17, one of Lincolnshire’s principal transport routes, providing excellent connectivity to Boston, Sleaford, Spalding and King’s Lynn. The location offers convenient access to local amenities within the surrounding villages and strong visibility.

Further surrounding land is available by separate negotiation, creating the potential for a larger comprehensive development, additional residential phases, commercial opportunities or other uses subject to the necessary planning consents.
