Property Details

Description

A freehold former sports court amounting to 1,072 Sq M (0.26 acre) located in a residential area, half a mile walk from the railway station and offering possible residential development potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Location

Prospect Road is situated between Thurnscoe Road and Furlong Road, which connect Bolton Upon Dearne with Goldthorpe and is within easy reach of local shops, schools and the railways station. The area enjoys excellent links to both the A1 and M1 via the A635 Dearne Valley Parkway, enabling a number of regional centres to be within comfortable commuting distance.

Approx Site Area

Approximately 1,072 Sq M (0.26 acres).

Planning

As a former sports court the land is designated as Greenspace in the Local Plan, however the court closed down following this designation and sits in an established residential area. The Planning Authority have advised that it is likely that any planning application to develop the site would need to be consulted with Sport England due to the site previously being used as a sports facility. The Council as landowner has subsequently contacted Sport England and they have confirmed that in the circumstances they do not need to be consulted as part of any planning process due to the sports court closing several years ago and there being alternative nearby sports facilities. As the land remains designated as Greenspace in the Local Plan Policy GS1 is applicable and compensation for loss of Greenspace may be payable. Due to the site being overlooked on three sides any scheme would need to be suitably designed to protect the privacy of future occupants.

Interested parties are invited to make their own planning and highways enquires in respect of possible schemes.
