The site is irregular in shape sloping easterly towards the River Clyde. Due to agricultural works, the site levels have been raised in recent years and an entrance has been formed. The shell of a 440 sq m agricultural building has been constructed on site, although a recent planning consent has been granted to allow it to be extended to 1,000 sq m (P/22/0294).
Location
The site is situated on Lanark Road (A72) forming part of the Clyde Valley Tourist Route between Larkhall and Lanark, in South Lanarkshire. It lies approximately 1 mile to the east of Junction 7 of the M74, the principal trunk road between Scotland and England and similarly from Garrion Bridge which provides connections to towns including Lanark, Wishaw, and Carluke.
Accommodation
The site extends to 1.16ha (2.86 acres) with a road frontage of 160 m. The title also extends to the mid-point of the river creating further development potential. Additional land can be offered should this be necessary.
The front page illustration shows how a Visitor Centre could sit on the site. This has been provided for guidance purposes only and would be subject to obtaining formal planning consent.
