The property comprises a regular shaped site which slopes very gently downwards from east to west.
The site is generally surrounded by residential property, with a small pocket of industrial to the south east and open space to the north.
The site is a former trailer manufacturing plant, comprising predominantly single storey workshop units with ancillary office and staff accommodation. The existing buildings are in a semi derelict condition therefore the site is ripe for development.
Town Planning - The former use of the existing buildings is likely to constitute a mixture of Light Industrial (B1) General Industrial (B2) and Storage and Distribution (B8) Uses.
Given the site’s location within a predominantly residential area, the site may be suitable for a variety of alternative uses subject to the relevant permissions.
Interested parties are advised to enquire directly with the LPA as to the suitability of the site for redevelopment for any alternative uses.
