Land At Lugg Bridge, Hereford HR1

This productive Riverside Pasture Land with Potential for Bio Diversity Gain is in Three adjoining Lots that can be bought as a whole or in three individual Lots.

Description

This productive land is three adjoining Lots that can be bought as a whole or in three individual Lots.

Lot 1 is about 4.82 acres and is the corner field next to the Aylestone Hill roundabout with road frontage onto both the Sutton Road and the Worcester Road. It is a well shaped flat grass field. The field is subject to an overage clause as described below in the sale details.

Lot 2 is about 5 acres and a similar pasture field to Lot 1 with access onto the Worcester Road.

Lot 3 is about 23 acres. The land is mostly flat but with some mounds. The land benefits from a long frontage along the River Lugg which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and hence is very appealing for its flora and fauna as well as its ability to grow grass. About 14 acres of the land is known as Midsummer Meadow and is a registered Common with allocated third party rights to graze after around mid summers day.

All of the land above is within the flood plain of the River Lugg and subject to a relatively small annual payment to the River Lugg Internal Drainage Board towards the maintenance of the River Lugg and its tributaries.

The land may be of interest to conservationists and those seeking to acquire the potential for establishing bio diversity net gain (bng) units. The vendors have had an initial scoping report carried out by an ecologist and a copy of this can be sent on request. There appears to be the potential for creating around 70 bng units for the land as a whole for enhancing the pasture but buyers should make their own assessments should bng units be a consideration in their purchase.

The land shows as being within a Minerals Safeguarding Area and Preferred Area under the policies of the Herefordshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan.
