Description
Planning Secured! Approval granted for erection of a three and a four storey apartment block containing 25 self contained flats with a mix of 19 x 2 bedrooms and 6 x 1 bedroom. A great oppertunity with significant potential for strong returns.
Development Opportunity – Planning Permission Secured
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully consented residential development site with planning permission already secured under Application Reference APP/17/01606. Consent was granted in 2019 for the demolition of the former three-storey public house and adjoining building, with the erection of a part three-storey, part four-storey apartment block comprising 25 self-contained apartments, together with all associated works.
The existing buildings were demolished in 2020 to preserve the planning consent, allowing a developer to progress the scheme without the cost and delay of demolition. Ground reports have been completed.
Extending to approximately 0.3 acres, the site occupies a highly accessible location just a short walk from Rock Ferry Train Station, providing excellent transport links to both Liverpool and Chester, making it an attractive proposition for future occupiers.
