Ruscombe Wood for sale

Ruscombe Wood - 22.5 acres (9.09ha) of woodland and pasture is for sale by informal tender by 30th June.

Any sale of a treasured piece of land can cause concern to residents particularly when in the past plans for a hotel were suggested near there. It is no wonder I've received a couple of telephone calls about this.

However planning permission for housing or anything else is not on the cards for this site: it is being sold with restrictive covenants precluding any development. This is clearly stated in the particulars so anyone looking at them would know there is no prospect of development. We can only hope that whoever purshases the woodland will want to keep and enhance this beautiful spot that I am told contains patches of ancient woodland.
