Extending to approximately 24.3 acres (9.83 hectares), this prime parcel of land at East Forth offers a compelling opportunity for residential development or farming in a sought-after location.

 

The land benefits from a strong planning history, having secured planning permission for residential development in 2009 under South Lanarkshire Council reference CL/06/0397.

 

The site is zoned in LDP2 within the village envelope and is designated for ‘Green Network’ and ‘Residential Masterplan’ uses and presents the ideal opportunity for residential development as part of an extension to the village of Forth. With LDP3 starting in earnest in 2026, the site is primed for strategic promotion and long-term value.

 

 

The property is offered for sale as a heritable title.

 

Prospective Purchasers should look into flood risk as part of their due diligence process.

 

The Vendor has not made us aware of any flooding to the property in the past.

 

The full planning history summary with regards to the property can be provided upon request. Prospective purchasers should make their own investigations into the planning consents and all relevant information including looking at the local authority planning portal. It is recommended that those interested seek appropriate professional advice. It may be that other uses for the site could be considered and prospective purchasers should make their own enquirers accordingly and any such use would be dependent on obtaining the relevant permissions.

 

Please note that the land is subject to a clawback in favour of the Vendor. This is for a period of 25 years and a 20% uplift in value if planning permission is granted for anything other than its current use. Further details can be provided from the Vendors solicitors.
