Description

The land extends to approximately 0.388 acres (0.157 hectares) and is generally level in topography.

Access

Access to the site is taken from Regent Street West. The land does not directly adjoin the adopted public highway, with access being obtained over intervening unregistered land. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the nature and extent of the rights required to access the property.

Planning

An outline planning application was submitted in August 2015, and subsequently validated in April 2017. The application was for the erection of a three storey block of 22 (one and two bedroom flats), with all matters being reserved. The application was refused in June 2017 as “The required visibility (based on 85th percentile speeds) of 2.4m by 27m onto Regent Street West, cannot not be achieved.” The refusal was not followed up by an appeal as far as we are aware.
