A one-acre former workshop site on the edge of Marham with a varied past including use as part of a military gym and later an engineering premises has been given outline planning permission for potential homebuilders.

The scheme allows for four self-build homes, opening the door to a small, design-led development in a village setting.

With the site now vacant following the closure of its previous business use, it presents a rare consented opportunity for individual builders or small-scale developers looking for a project in a well-connected Norfolk location.

What the plot includes

The plot extends to approximately one acre and comprises a cleared former commercial yard with workshop buildings that are expected to be demolished as part of the approved redevelopment.

It was most recently used for engineering and fabrication before becoming vacant. The freehold site is offered with vacant possession and benefits from established road access on the edge of the village.

Mains water and electricity are connected, including single and three-phase supply, while drainage is currently managed via a private system within the site boundary.

Outline planning permission has been granted for the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of four self-build homes.

The approval establishes the principle of residential development, with detailed matters such as design, layout and appearance to be agreed through subsequent applications.

The planning permission effectively enables a small-scale custom-build scheme, providing flexibility for individually designed homes within the approved development framework.

How the plot is being brought to market

The site is being offered at a guide price of £480,000 and is available freehold with planning already in place, positioning it for self-builders or small developers seeking a consented opportunity.

If you are looking to take on the opportunity then all the details on the site can be found on Plotfinder.

Interested parties are advised to review the outline permission and make direct enquiries via the listing agent for full technical and legal documentation before proceeding.
