A rare freehold development site of approximately 1.273 acres on the edge of Retford town centre, currently operating as a coach depot. The plot includes a large steel-frame workshop (about 11,334 sq ft) and a separate brick office building (about 2,088 sq ft), with extensive hardstanding suitable for vehicle movements, parking or continued commercial use.
The office building sits within the town's Conservation Area and is considered a building of merit; demolition proposals have previously been resisted. Part of the site falls within Flood Zone 2 and the land has a history as former gas works with some remediation already undertaken. Planning consent for 60 apartments was granted in 2007 but not implemented; a later similar scheme was refused at appeal in 2011 due to proposed demolition of the office building.
This is a clear opportunity for developers or owner-occupiers seeking a town-centre fringe plot with strong frontage and vehicle access. Interested parties should carry out their own due diligence with Bassetlaw District Council regarding planning, flood risk and any outstanding remediation obligations. For sale freehold at a guide price of £1.5m plus VAT; consideration may be given to an option to obtain planning consent.
