Forest Lane Head, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG2

SITE AND LOCATION
The premises occupy a site with extensive frontage to the A59, the major thoroughfare between the towns of Knaresborough and Harrogate, opposite Harrogate Golf Club and with open fields to the rear (North). The A59 at this point is recorded as having circa 10,000 vehicle movements per day making this a very prominent location. The site extends to 0.45 acres and slopes gently, West to East and benefits from parking for approximately 30 cars. The building, a former car showroom, benefits from full glass frontage to the showroom area, 3 roller shutter doors to the extensive warehousing to the rear and an office and board room function on the mezzanine.

TOWN PLANNING
The site is zoned for Car Showroom 'Sui Generis' use and is situated in the Greenbelt. The vendors, CoreCare Holdings Ltd, secured a change of use to A1 Retail ( 09/03431/FUL) in October 2009, however the consent was bespoke to them and them alone and as such, now they have vacated the site/ building, it will revert to its previous Sui Generis use.
Subject to Planning the site would lend itself to the A1 Retail Warehousing use that it has been used for over the past 15 years or potentially redevelopment for alternative uses; Residential, Care, Roadside Retail etc.
