Ready brownfield plot with scope for medium‑density apartments near central amenities.
Outline planning consent for 40 apartments (outline, not full permission)
A cleared brownfield parcel of approximately 0.258 ha (0.636 acres) offered with outline consent for 40 apartments, providing a ready proposition for a residential developer or investor. The site is principally level with existing concrete and stone hardstanding, fenced boundaries and direct vehicle access from Dunstall Street, which will reduce initial site preparation time. Its town-centre edge location sits adjacent to a modern apartment block and a large local authority car park, with straightforward road links to the wider highway network.
Buyers should note the consent is outline rather than full planning, so reserved matters and detailed design remain to be agreed. The area shows high levels of deprivation and very high local crime statistics; these contextual issues will influence rental demand, sales values and management requirements. The plot has no internal buildings or gardens but will require standard brownfield remediation and utility connections prior to construction.
This opportunity suits developers or investors seeking a medium-density urban infill site with planning headroom and quick access to the town centre. The site’s size and existing hardstanding offer flexibility in build approach, but purchasers should allow for the costs and timescales associated with securing full approvals, remediation, and any additional site works required by local authority conditions.
Practical considerations: tenure is not specified and should be confirmed; on-site parking provision is described, and vehicle access is off-street from Dunstall Street. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal excellent. The surrounding mix of housing and commercial uses means schemes should consider security, management and community amenity in design and specification.
