Our Summary
- The property is in need of some refurbishment and renovation
- While Green Belt policy is generally considered to be very restrictive there are certain types of development that are considered to be acceptable, one example of this which is relevant to potential development at Butterworth Fold Farm is the ability to obtain planning permission to redevelop brownfield/previously developed land in the Green Belt
- Given the amount of built development already on the site we believe it would be possible subject to planning to convert the two-storey barn into three dwellings, to demolish the remaining buildings and erect circa twelve detached dwellings, all of which would have an outlook onto open fields without in our opinion causing substantial harm to the Green Belt
- Short and long term development potential
Description
Butterworth Fold Farm is a unique property located in Rochdale, consisting of a detached bungalow, a residential caravan, a stone-built cottage, and a range of farm buildings, set on approximately 70.92 acres of land, including 63.6 acres of grassland and 7.32 acres of woodland. The property has a rich history, with the bungalow and curtilage owned personally by Mr James Swallow, while the rest of the property is owned by James Swallow Limited. The farm is situated in an area designated as Green Belt, but there is potential for redevelopment, particularly on the previously developed land, which could involve conversion and demolition of existing buildings to create new residential dwellings. The property has mains services and a good spring water supply, and is located near major motorway networks, making it an attractive opportunity for developers and those looking for a unique rural retreat.
