A 51.69ac holding with planning permission for a new house is for sale near Navan, Co Meath. It’s at Ardsallagh and is being sold by Smith Harrington Auctioneers by private treaty. The asking price is €800,000.

The standout feature of this holding is, of course, the addition of planning permission. The permission has been granted in full and is not subject to local needs requirements, according to the auctioneers.

The permission was granted in August 2018 – so any purchaser has time to begin construction before it expires. The planning reference number is NA170799.

Meanwhile, the holding is 6km from Navan where there is access to the M3 motorway. The land is accessed via a lane off the L4009. It is laid out in three divisions, predominantly in grass with good boundary hedging. The holding runs alongside a tributary of the River Boyne and a stretch of the land along the river is planted to forestry. The land has a natural water supply.
