Description

A fantastic opportunity has arisen to purchase a brownfield site on Derwent Street in Blackhill, Consett. The site measures approximately 0.65 acres and formally benefitted from planning permission for a residential development of more than 20 properties. Although the granted planning permissions have now lapsed, it is high likely that similar applications would be considered favourably.
A table mat factory formally stood on the site which was closed in 2006. The buildings were demolished shortly after the closure and the site has been vacant since. The site remains vacant and is ready for immediate possession.
Although a large portion of the site is visible from the surrounding roads, on site viewing is strictly by appointment only. All enquiries should be made to Weardale Property Agency.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea
