Summary - South Development Site, New South Promenade, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY4 FY4 1NJ
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Prime promenade site with approved planning for 40 apartments and 45 parking spaces, strong rental potential.
Prime sea‑front corner with panoramic promenade frontage
This prominent corner site on New South Promenade benefits from full outline planning approval (Ref: 22/0168) for a part 4, 5 and 6‑storey development of 40 self‑contained apartments (GIA 33,368 sq ft) with 45 off‑street car parking spaces. The permission covers access, appearance, layout and scale, and a favourable Section 106 agreement is in place — reducing planning risk for a buyer aiming to deliver a straightforward build‑to‑let or for sale scheme.
The location is a genuine sea‑front pitch between an established hotel and Solaris Centre Gardens, offering prospects for sea views and strong visitor demand. Connectivity is good: Squires Gate Lane and the M55 nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage support modern rental requirements. The scheme’s mix of 1–3 bedroom apartments and dedicated cycle/waste storage is suited to a range of occupants from holiday lets to long‑let tenants.
Buyers should be clear about the key development realities: demolition of the existing hotel will be required, tenure is not specified, and the site sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate — factors that will affect construction risk, insurance, management and rental profile. The site is not in a flood risk area, which simplifies insurance and design considerations.
In short, this is a high‑profile, ready‑to‑deliver development opportunity on Blackpool’s promenade. It will suit experienced developers or investors able to manage demolition, construction and operational risk in a challenging local market, and who can capitalise on tourism catchment and commuter links.
