This versatile plot offers outstanding potential for both residential and commercial development, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP). Investors and developers alike will appreciate the flexibility this site affords, whether considering the creation of a block of apartments, a mixed-use scheme, or other business ventures.

The flexibility of the site allows prospective purchasers to tailor their development to meet market needs, whether by maximising residential yield, creating sought-after commercial spaces, or delivering a combination of both. With the added advantage of no chain, interested parties can move quickly to secure this prime piece of real estate and begin planning their project.
