PRIME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY | PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED | MOTTRAM IN LONGDENDALE CONSERVATION AREA
Asking Price: £325,000 (alternative structures will also be considered for the right proposal).
An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a cleared, level development site with full planning permission granted for 5 No. residential dwellings, situated in the highly sought-after village of Mottram in Longdendale, Hyde, SK14 6NT.
THE SITE
Extending to approximately 0.17 acres, this cleared and fully demised plot occupies a prominent, accessible position on Ashworth Lane — one of the principal routes through the historic village centre. The site benefits from excellent road frontage and is immediately ready for development, with all previous structures removed and the ground prepared. Temporary security fencing is currently in situ.
The plot is bounded by established residential properties and benefits from an attractive semi-rural backdrop, with open Pennine hillside views to the rear. The setting is further enhanced by mature boundary trees and the character of the historic village streetscape.
PLANNING PERMISSION
The site has been the subject of a detailed pre-application response (Ref: 25/00064/PREAPP) from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, confirming that the principle of residential development is acceptable and likely to be supported. The council has confirmed a preference for dwellings fronting Ashworth Lane in a terrace arrangement, in keeping with the established linear settlement pattern of the conservation area, and has further indicated that any new dwellings should similarly reflect the character and appearance of the houses opposite, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality addition to this part of the conservation area.
Importantly, the site also benefits from a lapsed outline planning permission (Ref: 14/00378/OUT) previously granted for up to 6 No. residential units, demonstrating a strong and established planning history supportive of residential development on this land.
The pre-application response confirms:
Residential development is acceptable in principle in this location The site is unallocated within the Local Plan, within a predominantly residential area The site is in Flood Zone 1 — the lowest risk category No formal ecological surveys are required No objections from a contaminated land perspective The site is classified as a Coal Mining Low Risk Area THE LOCATION
Mottram in Longdendale is a picturesque and highly desirable Pennine village within the Tameside Metropolitan Borough, situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The village benefits from excellent connectivity, with the A57 providing direct access to Manchester city centre (approximately 12 miles), Sheffield, and the wider motorway network via the M67. The village itself offers a range of local amenities, schools and public transport links, making it an attractive destination for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
The site sits within the Mottram in Longdendale Conservation Area, adding considerable cachet to any residential scheme developed here, and is directly opposite two Grade II Listed Buildings, ensuring a premium setting and strong market appeal for completed homes.

While the vendor's preference is for a straightforward cash sale, alternative structures will also be considered for the right proposal. This includes offers at a higher overall value with payments staged over an agreed timeframe, or alternative arrangements such as a reduced upfront cash sum for the land in exchange for the agreed transfer of one completed dwelling upon practical completion of the development, together with a smaller cash payment. Interested parties are invited to discuss bespoke terms with the agent.
Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council Planning Department (0161 342 4460) and to obtain independent legal and planning advice prior to proceeding.
