This substantial mid-terrace building offers a rare town-centre development plot in central Swinton with conditional planning in place for 17 residential flats. The property extends to approximately 11,000 sq ft on a 0.22-acre site and is offered freehold with vacant possession. Existing permissions (RB2024/0341 and RB2025/0401) allow conversion to 12 flats plus an additional second floor of five units; development must commence within three years of the permissions.
Benefits for a developer include central location, strong transport links (Mexborough station ~1.3 miles), fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and an EPC of C (51). The site sits adjacent to public open space and local amenities, and the scale of the building creates clear scope for a deliverable residential scheme once conditions are met.
Important negatives are plainly stated: the property is in a very deprived area with high recorded crime rates, and lies within a conservation area where Article 4 directions remove most permitted development rights. Some planning applications were previously refused and current permissions are conditional; there is Community Infrastructure Levy liability on the additional second floor. The building is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation and will require retrofit works, upgrades to services, and compliance with planning conditions before occupation.
This opportunity is aimed at experienced developers or investors comfortable delivering a medium-scale conversion in a challenging but centrally positioned market. It suits a buyer who can manage planning conditions, carry refurbishment and energy-upgrade works, and tolerate the socio-economic realities of the location while delivering a residential scheme.
