Pre-application approval for 36 one‑bed apartments
Previous lapsed consent for 42 apartments exists

Administration and buyer’s premium £1,800 each on exchange
Located in a very deprived area with high crime rates
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband connectivity
Site requires clearance, maintenance and buyer due diligence
A substantial, freehold town-centre plot in Hanley offered with pre-application approval for 36 one‑bed apartments. The site is very large, currently vacant and can be inspected at any time, giving developers or investors a clear sense of the parcel before bidding. Digital connectivity is strong (excellent mobile, fast broadband) and local amenities and schools are nearby.
This is a development-led opportunity sold via online auction (27–28 October). Pre-app approval for 36 one‑bed units is a positive uplift in scheme certainty; a previous planning consent for 42 units lapsed. Purchasers must rely on their own enquiries — planning, rights, site surveys and any abnormal costs are the buyer’s responsibility.
Material considerations: the plot is unkempt and will require site clearance and maintenance before works. The location sits in a very deprived area with high local crime statistics, which will affect rental profile and management costs. An administration fee and buyer’s premium of £1,800 each (inc. VAT) are payable on exchange; see the legal pack for additional disbursements.
For investors seeking a town-centre development with planning momentum, this plot offers scale and connectivity. For cautious buyers, the combination of social-economic context, site preparation needs and auction purchase mechanics mean thorough due diligence and realistic financial modelling are essential before bidding.
