SITUATION
A rare and unique residential development opportunity in the sought-after town of Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. The historic market town has a variety of shopping including supermarkets, leisure and educational facilities. The town’s roots trace back to medieval times with notable buildings such as the Town Hall and old coaching inns.
More extensive facilities are available in the nearby towns of Swindon, Calne and Chippenham. Travelling connections are excellent with the M4, Junction 16 about 2.5 miles distant and Swindon Railway Station about 6.5 miles putting London (Paddington) within about 1 hour travelling time (all approximations).

THE PROPERTY
The Property is situated on the southern edge of Royal Wootton Bassett. The consented area comprises three field parcels of level farmland extending in all to about 16.90 acres (6.76 hectares). The land is bounded mainly by stockproof hedges and fencing. The Brinkworth Brook is located on the southern boundary. Current vehicular access can be taken from the Marlborough Road.

PLANNING CONSENT
The property has a resolution to grant Outline Planning Permission subject to the signing of a S.106 Agreement (reference PL/2024/08724) by Wiltshire Council for the demolition and clearance of the existing building and the development of up to 95 dwellings, with associated car parking, open space, landscaping, drainage and other associated infrastructure. The land immediately south of the development site and the watercourse will be for Biodiversity Net Gain purposes only. This parcel benefits from its own existing access.
Further details are available in a data room from the Selling Agent.

METHOD OF SALE
The buyer will purchase the land subject to a Section 106 Agreement and any bids will need to take into full account the financial contributions set out in the dataroom. Once the S106 Agreement is in a final form, it will be shared with the selected party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Section 106 Agreement commits the buyer to providing a minimum of 40% (38 units) affordable houses, currently split between 25% First Homes 60% Affordable Rented Units and 15% Shared Ownership Units. An indicative mix has been suggested by the Housing Enabling Officer. This is a suggested mix at this stage and will be confirmed through a Reserved Matters application.
