This prominent end-of-terrace building occupies a highly visible junction in central Weston-super-Mare and comes with full planning permission (ref: 24/P/1642/FUL) for demolition and redevelopment into 16 apartments with ground-floor commercial units. The approved scheme simplifies delivery for a developer or investor seeking an immediately permitted mixed-use project close to the seafront, shopping and transport links.
The property is currently derelict and will require demolition or substantial reconstruction in line with the approved consent. The sale is by public auction on 9 December 2025; interested parties should note the scheduled block viewing on 12 November 2025 and undertake their own surveys and due diligence prior to bidding.
Buyers should be aware of material costs and liabilities: a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Notice currently records a charge of £76,747.02 (the seller is challenging this and believes it should be lower), and the site sits in a very deprived, high-crime area which may affect lettings, sales values and financing terms. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent.
This is a clear acquisition for a specialist buyer: developers seeking a permitted coastal town scheme or investors prepared to manage demolition, CIL risk and convert the site into multiple income-generating units. Legal and planning checks are essential before purchase; the sale is freehold and will be offered at auction.
