Property description
Rare opportunity to purchase 0.85 mile / 13 acre disused railway cutting with Full Planning Permission to infill and create fishing ponds and wildlife reserve - Contact FSL Estate Agents for details
DETAILS
Stretching for approximately 0.85 miles and covering an area of around 13 acres, this is rare opportunity to purchase a disused railway cutting and associated land which has the benefit of Full Planning Permission to raise levels within a section of the cutting and create fishing ponds and a wildlife reserve. As part of the planning application an extensive array of ecological and environmental reports have already been completed. The planning permission which has been approved covers approximately 50% of the overall site area and is intended as a first phase allowing any purchaser the scope to infill and landscape more of the cutting in the future, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. Contact FSL Estate Agents for further information and ask for David Martindale or Nigel Christie.
LOCATION
The site is located twixt the villages of Warmfield and Kirkthorpe on the eastern outskirts of the City of Wakefield. The cutting itself extends from the A655 to Goosehill Lane and is intersected and accessed from Warmfield Lane. The location itself is easily accessible by road with excellent links from the M62 and M1 motorway networks. This central Yorkshire position is beneficial both during the construction phase for the importation of suitable fill materials and once complete as a recreational attraction.

Full Planning Permission was granted 27th March 2015 under Application Reference 13/03500/FUL for the construction of two fishing ponds, a wildlife pond and associated works including new access off Warmfield Lane, parking, footpath and partial infilling of dismantled railway cutting.
