A glaringly obvious, freehold development opportunity occupying a prominent town centre site adjacent to Marks & Spencer. The quarter acre plot houses a derelict industrial building that extends to approx. 9,000 sqft, but has lain vacant for over 6 years. A planning application for 46 apartments above ground floor commercial space was lodged in 2016, recommended for permission, but then refused at committee and later dismissed at appeal. A subsequent 2017 application for 42 units and commercial space was similarly recommended, refused and dismissed at appeal. Undoubtedly a development site, but one that has slipped through the cracks and needs a fresh approach.
