PLANNING
The property is designated as Green Belt. One of the building's last use was as a workshop. Part of the buildings are used for general storage purposes utilising consent under class R Permitted Development Rights. These have since been extended to 1000m2, however a further prior notification application would be required to gain further storage consent using the current buildings.
Full planning permission was granted to demolish everything on site and construct 13 No. commercial units. Details are available from the agent on request or on South Ribble Council's website Ref: 07/2023/00257/FUL, Please contact the agent to discuss potential for future planning.
