Land Adjacent, 27 Bishop Bridge Road, Norwich, NR1
Description
The property comprises an area of vacant scrub land, formerly being an industrial site - the buildings having been demolished and the site cleared approximately 25 years ago.
The site has a vehicular access from Bishop Bridge Road and slopes up from the road, west to east.
Location
The property is situated in Norwich city centre on Bishop Bridge Road, close to the junction with Ketts Hill, Barrack Street and Gurney Road.
Bishop Bridge Road forms part of the Norwich inner ring road and is a mixed-use area surrounded by commercial and residential properties.
The property is within walking distance of Norwich Train Station, the Riverside Retail Park and Leisure Park, Norwich City Football Club and Norwich Cathedral. The city's retail and leisure core is also a short distance away.
Terms
The property is being offered for sale, on a freehold basis. Both conditional and unconditional offers are invited. The vendors will require that evidence of due diligence and planning enquiries is provided to the selling agents prior to accepting any offer.
In accordance with the latest Anti Money Laundering (AML) legislation, the purchaser will also be required to provide proof of identity, address and source of funds to the selling agents prior to solicitors being instructed.
Planning & Use
The property was previously an industrial site and a planning application, in conjunction with a neighbouring site, was rejected in 2016 for the construction of a foodstore. The land is allocated in the current Greater Norwich Local Plan, under policy NOS.03 and together with neighbouring sites, for residential development. We would suggest the site offers potential for a variety of commercial and residential uses subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consent. Interested parties should rely on their own planning enquiries prior to making any offer.
