Description
The property comprises an irregular shaped, clear and level site, extending to about 0.14 hectares (0.35 acres), with a frontage to St Catherines of about 46 metres (147 ft) and a return frontage to Hamilton Road of about 39 metres (128 ft).
The site was formerly an Esso Petrol Filling Station, but this use ceased some years ago, and since this time planning permission has been secured for the development of a new build health centre laid out over 3 floors, with associated car parking, but this has now lapsed.
All main services are available in the vicinity of the site, however the vendors cannot give any guarantee as to the capacity of these services and interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the service providers.
As stated above Outline Planning Permission was granted (Ref 2009/0021/0) on 6th November 2009 as medical centre – falling with use Class D1 Non-residential Institutions, but this has now lapsed.
Alternatively having regard to its former use as a petrol station and the character of the surrounding area, the site in our view also has potential for retail/leisure roadside uses or residential development, subject to the receipt of planning permission.
Interested parties are advised to discuss any proposals they have for this site with the Planning Department at City of Lincoln Council.
