We are pleased to offer for sale this plot of land with a view for a residential development subject to full planning permission being granted but unconditional offers would also be considered . The site is approximately 0.9 hectares (ha) in size and is now considered to be 'white land' with the local council. The site sits in a predominantly rural location, with open fields to the north and west, and a small amount of residential development to the south and east. The development proposed is the build of approximately nine dwellings consisting of three 4 bedroom houses and six with 5 bedrooms, with access to be taken from Neill's Road.

Site Details
The Site extends 0.90 ha (2.23 acres) and is located in Bold, approximately 4km south east of St Helens town centre. The site comprises an 'L' shaped parcel of land which wraps around the rear of the dwellings along the north of Douglas Avenue. The site stretches east to west with a narrow access road connecting to Neills Road to the east and the parcel wrapping around the dwellings and connecting to Rose Hill Farm to the south west. There are a small
number of trees within the site and some larger trees scattered along boundary edges amongst hedgerows. The site is contained by open and flat agricultural fields to the north and west, whilst the east and south is contained by residential dwellings and the south west is Rose Hill Farm. The site appears generally flat with views north and north west into the flat open agricultural fields. Douglas Avenue is a small hamlet of dwellings west of Neills Road with
Bold Industrial Park to the north east and Rosehill Avenue further south which is another small road providing access for a small number of residential dwellings.
Site Access
The site currently benefits from access to Neill's Road with sufficient width to accommodate a private driveway to serve a small number of units. As per the extract from St Helens Highways for Adoption 4.12 (right), the minimum requirement for the full width of the access would be 6.9m which can be provided within the site boundary. It is therefore proposed that a 4.5m wide road, 2m wide footpath and a 0.5 service strip be provided, giving a total width of 7m carriageway construction.
