A Substantial Freehold Development Opportunity

Set on a prominent site of some 1.47 acres, the site comprises a variety of existing buildings and is the location of one of the oldest pot works in Burslem, belonging to the Wedgwood Family for over 200 years.

The Site is currently made up predominately by 2 storey industrial buildings, with some single storey additions and infill areas. These buildings are of an industrial scale, with floor to floor levels more akin to 3 or 4 storey residential buildings.

To the west of the site, there is a large development consisting of 3 storey town houses and 4 storey residential blocks, establishing a precedent for this scale of development in the town centre.

Around a third of the site is situated within the Burslem conservation area, including the existing buildings to the east of the development site. The proposed development would retain these buildings and maintain the relationship between these buildings and the existing buildings that sit outside the site boundary on the south east side of the site.
