Description
The property comprises of 3 separate lots which are all adjacent to each other. Nr 5/6, also known as The Cube, is an operational PBSA scheme. It is arranged over 4 floors and provides 5 studios on the ground floor, and 6 studios on each of the upper floors, totalling 23 studios in the building. Each studio has its own en suite. There is a terrace on the roof which is surrounded by a parapet wall. In our opinion this could provide an additional floor of accommodation (STPP).
Nr 7 is a derelict house and formed part of the original planning application for Nr 5/6/7, under planning application reference 03/01649/FUL. Only 5/6 were built out and a subsequent variation was submitted to alter the design of Nr 7. Therefore the application is extant. The proposal is for a 4 storey building with 3 studios on each floor, totalling 12 studios in the building.
Nr 34 is a former pub located on the corner of Gibbon Lane and Gibbon Street. Our client has had initial sketch designs drawn up which provides for a 4/5 storey building for Nr 7 Gibbon Lane and Nr 34 Gibbon Street, totalling 48 studios in this part of the building. In our opinion an additional floor could be added (STPP).
A data pack including floor plans and a tenancy schedule is available upon request.
