Description

These fantastic fields are accessed from a private road off Castlelaw Crescent and extend in all to approximately 1.98 hectares (4.90 acres). The fields have been utilised historically for equestrian and smallholding purposes. A caravan has been sited on the land for many years and remains in situ though is in poor order. The land offers a degree of seclusion while enjoying a frontage to Perth Road and access from Castlelaw Crescent (agricultural field gate). According to the James Hutton Institute, the soil is classified as Class 2, suitable for a wide variety of agricultural uses. The land is classed as F1 for forestry (land with excellent flexibility for the growth and management of tree crops). The land has a sloping topography from south to North, and the land lies adjacent to established residential areas and open countryside. The boundary to Perth road contains a number of shrubs and trees providing privacy and screening to the fields. The site is well suited to equestrian, market garden or agricultural activity, with the potential for further uses subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

Planning
