Description

This rare individual building plot is situated in the heart of the village of Cople, set back from Willington Road, and offers an exciting opportunity for a self-build project or developer. Planning permission was granted in July 2025 for a contemporary barn-style dwelling with approximately 2,136 square feet of living space and an attached garage of 312 square feet. The plot, which is approximately 0.23 acres in size, is surrounded by tranquil grounds and has full right of access via a private lane. The existing garage/outbuilding will need to be demolished before construction can begin, and there is a CIL liability of £28,969.99, although self-builders can apply for an exemption. The village of Cople is located to the east of Bedford and offers easy access to the A421 and A1, as well as frequent rail services to Bedford and Sandy. The area also has a range of shopping, recreational, and educational opportunities, and the proposed Universal Studios project and East West Rail link will further improve connectivity.
