/ DESCRIPTION
This is a freehold sale of approximately 4.76 ha (11.76 ac) of land on the eastern edge of Weston village. The site is well-contained by existing field boundaries and established landscape features and is considered to make only a limited overall contribution to the Green Belt, as confirmed in the Council’s Local Plan evidence base. In our opinion, this is a highly credible residential development opportunity that could help meet the district’s significant housing need. The site benefits from excellent local connectivity via a well-established network of public footpaths and has access to utilities, with direct links to the wider settlement and local facilities. The land is currently undeveloped, but historically formed part of the village’s core and sits adjacent to long-established residential uses.
