Great Cornbow, Halesowen
Description
Former Office Building with On-Site Parking – Prime Halesowen Town Centre Redevelopment Opportunity
The property occupies a highly prominent and strategic position, located between Halesowen’s pedestrianised retail core and the surrounding ring road, providing excellent accessibility, visibility, and connectivity.
The site benefits from prior notification approval (Ref: P25/0468/PN3MA) for conversion from commercial use to residential, allowing for the creation of 90 apartments within the existing structure.
"The Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council hereby determines in accordance with Part 3 of
Schedule 2 to the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 that
prior approval of the Local Planning Authority is REQUIRED AND IS APPROVED for the above
described development subject to conditions"
Previously utilised as office accommodation, the building has been comprehensively prepared for redevelopment, with internal services removed and asbestos remediation completed.
This presents a rare opportunity for developers to deliver a substantial residential scheme in a town centre location, with scope for a range of end uses including private apartments, build-to-rent, or specialist accommodation such as retirement or extra care living.
