We are instructed on behalf of the landowner of a 1 hectare site or thereabouts at Coundon, Bishop Auckland. The site is currently used for grazing. An application for outline planning consent has been granted on the site for 30 residential units. The site has previously benefitted from detailed planning permission for 17 residential units in the form of two consents. We are inviting offers for the freehold sale by private treaty.<br /><br /><b>Site Area</b> - Approximately 1 hectare or thereabouts.<br /><br /><b>Description</b> - The site lies on the western edge of Coundon village in County Durham and is outlined in red for information purposes on the attached plan.

The site has views over parts of rural County Durham due to its place on the outskirts of the village. Coundon is a growing village enjoying numerous pubs and other amenities.<br /><br /><b>Planning</b> - Previously the site has benefitted from detailed planning permission for 17 residential units in the form of two consents for low density housing.
