Description
THE SITE - TQ5 9JW
This potential development opportunity comprises a substantial parcel of recently cleared land, located off New Road in Brixham. On the northern section of the site, closest to New Road, is an excavated section of land with an access track on the eastern side, which leads to two elevated areas, one to the south east and one to the south west. In total, the land extends to c. 0.24ha / 0.59 acres. Planning approval has previously been attained (ref. P/2015/02356) for a mixed use development, comprising of a 3 storey building for commercial (B1/B8 use) with living quarters on the upper floors, one two storey office building and one two storey residential dwelling.
Given the recent planning approval for development of the land, and its location in Brixham, it is the Agents opinion that potential exists for a new planning application to be made, either for a mixed use scheme once again, or alternatively a more residentially focused development project.
