Description
Available for purchase is a unique opportunity for the conversion of a derelict building. The site comprises an existing c1960s public toilet block located off North Road, just a short walk from Durham city centre. The block presents an opportunity to convert the block to a café with a glazed first floor extension. The unit is situated in a prominent position, and its visibility will attract a large amount of passing trade from tourists, students, professionals and residents. The proposed unit presents 452sqft (42sqm) of ground floor café/retail space, and a 538sqft (50sqm) glazed, first floor seating area with forest views.
The site benefits from planning permission granted on 31/05/23 for 'Conversion to Cafe with associated alterations and new first floor over'. Planning reference DM/23/00792/FPA. Since then, planning has been implemented and Durham Council have confirmed that the works have met the requirements that constitute meaningful ‘commencement’ and ‘start’ as at 11th December 2025, meaning that the planning has no expiry date.
