Description

& DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

This Site comprises residential and commercial property, offering a versatile opportunity for continued business use, residential occupation or future redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

The property currently comprises a three-bedroom semi-detached dwelling with garden (shown for ID purposes edged blue on the Site Plan), together with approximately 0.88 acres of yard / land (shown for ID purposes edged red on the Site Plan). A range of existing outbuildings are currently established, historically utilised as a licensed commercial kennels and training centre. A mobile home also situated within the site.

The site has an established planning history. Planning Permission was granted in 2019 for the construction of a new kennel block, although this consent has now lapsed. More recently, Outline Planning Permission (Ref: 07/2023/00807/OUT) was granted in December 2023 for the development of up to four detached dwellings, following demolition of the existing buildings. This provides an attractive residential redevelopment opportunity, whilst the site's existing commercial use and location offers potential for alternative commercial redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The following supporting documents were submitted as part of the outline planning application and are available from the selling agents upon request:

● Noise Assessment
● Visibility Splay Plan
● Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Survey
