Building and Land to the North of 2 Picton Avenue, Sewell Street, Runcorn, WA7 5DH
An excellent opportunity for developers, investors and builders to acquire a site with potential for future development, situated close to Runcorn town centre. The land comprises an existing brick-built structure together with adjoining areas of waste ground, offering scope for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.
The site previously benefited from planning permission granted in 2014 for the creation of two separate units, presenting an attractive starting point for those looking to explore the site's development potential. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant local planning authority to establish the current planning position and any future development possibilities.
