Deane Road, Bolton, BL3

The Property
An exciting opportunity to acquire a prominent development site at 120–126 Deane Road, Bolton, BL3 5DL, offering significant potential for residential and commercial development.

Occupying a highly visible position on Deane Road, one of the main arterial routes into Bolton town centre, the site is opposite the University campus and close to Bolton College, shops, amenities and public transport. Bolton town centre is within walking distance, making this a well-connected and sustainable location for future development.

The site previously benefited from plans for an impressive five-storey mixed-use development, incorporating approximately 201 sq m of ground-floor commercial/retail space with 13 residential apartments above. The proposed accommodation included three floors each containing one one-bedroom and three two-bedroom apartments, plus a top-floor penthouse/studio with roof terraces.

Although the previous planning permission has now lapsed, the architectural drawings, elevations and associated plans are included within the sale, providing an excellent starting point for a developer looking to submit a new application. The site's previous planning history may provide useful precedent when considering future redevelopment, although any new scheme remains subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and consents.

The land currently features the distinctive aircraft fuselage previously used as a restaurant, which will be removed prior to completion, leaving the site ready for redevelopment.

With its prime central location, prominent main-road frontage, previous development history and substantial mixed-use potential, this represents a rare opportunity for developers and investors. The combination of commercial space and multiple residential units offers considerable potential for future rental income, resale value and long-term investment returns, subject to planning and development costs.
