    About this property

    • No bng requirement

    • Outline Permission

    • Great transport links

    An excellent opportunity to acquire a residential development site at Sluice Lane, Rufford. Extending to approximately 0.5 acres, the site benefits from outline planning permission for up to six dwellings following the demolition of the existing buildings.

    The site presents an attractive opportunity for developers seeking a manageable residential scheme within an established West Lancashire village. With the detailed design reserved for subsequent approval, prospective purchasers have the opportunity to shape the layout and character of the development, subject to the necessary consents.

    Outline planning permission was granted by West Lancashire Borough Council on 6 September 2024 under application reference 2024/0230/out. All matters are reserved, including access, layout, scale, appearance and landscaping. Development will be subject to approval of these details and compliance with the conditions attached to the permission.

    Location

    The site is situated to the west of Sluice Lane in the village of Rufford, West Lancashire. The village offers an appealing rural setting, surrounded by agricultural countryside, while remaining conveniently positioned for access to nearby towns and villages.

    Rufford is known for its historic character, with Rufford Old Hall and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal providing local interest and opportunities for countryside walks. The surrounding area combines village life with access to a wider range of everyday amenities in nearby Burscough, Tarleton and Ormskirk.

    The A59 provides road connections towards Preston and Ormskirk, while Rufford railway station offers an additional transport option. This combination of rural surroundings and accessibility makes the location an attractive setting for a small residential development.
