Bourton, Bourton, Bourton, SP8

Description - A residential development site located on the west side of Dorset, in Bourton which is a small village situated between Zeals and Wincanton.

The site is at Voscombe Farm which has been previously used for equestrian purposes. There is an old barn on the land which will need to be dismantled and removed by the prospective purchaser and in addition there is an electrical pylon which will need relocating. The topography of the land has a gradient, and at the highest point provides lovely views of the local countryside.

Developer Greystoke Land Limited has promoted the land through the planning process to bring forward an outline consent for a scheme of eight units ranging from two to four-bedroom dwellings. Currently our vendor requires access through the site to an additional parcel of land which they will be retaining. The vendor will be relocating the access point prior to the completion of a successful purchase.

Planning - Planning consent was allowed at appeal on 20 January 2023 to demolish existing barn and erect 8 No. dwellings, new vehicular access, and ancillary works (outline application with all matters reserved).
