This is an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire a freehold building plot in an outstanding location on the South Western outskirts of the picturesque and historic village of Worth Matravers. The coastal paths of the Jurassic Coast with walking access to Winspit and Chapmans Pool are close by.

It is considered that a new dwelling will adjoin open countryside, recently acquired by the National Trust.

Planning permission was granted in the 1980s to erect one detached Purbeck stone dwelling. Our clients have sought advice from a local planning consultant, and he is of the opinion that ‘the plot offers a valuable opportunity to create a high quality single storey residence that complements the surrounding area’s character’. Over time, there have been a number of planning applications approved for the plot, which he considers will be a material consideration of significant weight in favour of residential development of the land. The last Planning Application 6/1990/0873 dated 1990 (lapsed March 1996) was for a three bedroomed bungalow with integral garage. The Planning Consultant’s full report is available to genuine applicants upon request.

Plot measurements approximately 0.227 acres (0.092 hectares). 30.5m (East to West) x 30m (North to South) 100 ft (East to West x 98.5 ft (North to South).

NB. The purchaser will be expected to pay a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to the Local Authority, the amount of which will be determined when the planning application is granted.

There is a restrictive covenant on the land that the owners of Jade Hill must approve any plans for one detached dwelling and/or any subsequent alterations to the property once built. This covenant will apply to any purchaser and future owner(s) of the property in perpetuity. The owners of Jade Hill will assess any plan based on its impact on views and privacy.
