FOR SALE BY WAY OF ONLINE AUCTION ON - THURSDAY THE 30TH OF MAY, 2024. OPTION 1 - Terms and Conditions apply. See Agents Property Auctions Website for full details.
Development site of approximately 0.25 acres in size with Planning Permission for 9 apartments dated June 2021 and there was a previously agreed scheme for 6 houses. It is well located at the junction of Litchfield Lane and Blaydon Bank within Winlaton and in close proximity to the village centre with its excellent facilities. The Metro Centre and the A1M are both nearby, providing access to even more local facilities and beyond.

This is a prominent, cleared site, located in an excellent position close to Winlaton centre.
Accommodation
The drawings on the planning portal show a three storey building with three apartments on each floor. The accommodation of each apartment will comprise: entrance hall with cloaks cupboard, living room/kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and WC. On the portal the Rev A plans do not show the floor areas but the original proposed floor plans dated September 2020 did show each apartment amounting to 66.5 sq metres (715 sq feet). Potential buyers must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of these dimensions. Externally the drawings also show communal grounds and nine allocated parking spaces with one visitor parking space.
In our opinion the size of each apartment could possibly be reduced, thereby reducing costs and providing a finished flat at a marketable floor area for the location. Any such revisions would have to be carried out by the purchaser and will require permission
Planning and Consents
Planning permission was granted on 23 June 2021 under ref DC/20/00793/FUL for the construction of a block of nine apartments over three storeys subject to various conditions, one of which was that construction must commence within three years. We have documents showing that the planning conditions have been satisfied, except for the Cycle store and Digital Infrastructure.

The portal shows a history of permissions having been granted historically, including 6 town houses in 2015 (DC/15/00974/FUL). All planning documents are available publicly on the Gateshead Council Planning Portal.
