A substantial redevelopment opportunity on a huge 1.98-hectare site in east Dumfries, prominently fronting the A701 and close to town centre transport links. The site includes a three-storey, Category B listed former factory (approx. 26,942 m²) and is allocated in the Dumfries & Galloway Local Development Plan 2 (DFS.MU203) for mixed-use, with an indicative capacity of around 70 housing units. Council policy supports enabling development to fund sensitive adaptive reuse, creating scope for a cross-subsidy model.
This is a high-potential but high-complexity project aimed at experienced developers or investment consortia. The building is vacant, vandalised and deteriorating; a full structural and condition survey and Listed Building Consent will be essential. Proposals must align with Historic Environment Scotland guidance and the council expects comprehensive, phased redevelopment rather than piecemeal applications. Selective demolition may be considered in exceptional circumstances, particularly to enable viable reuse.
The site’s strengths are scale, planning allocation for mixed uses, excellent transport links (bus routes, Caledonian cycleway) and strong policy support for enabling development. Key constraints include listed-building obligations, likely significant repair and remediation costs, viability requirements for cross-subsidy, and the need to address infrastructure, greenspace and affordable housing contributions. This opportunity suits a development partner able to manage heritage consent processes, fund initial surveys and deliver a coordinated masterplan.
