Description - The site is located adjacent to the A688 on the outskirts of Barnard Castle and was formerly used as a stonemason's yard.
Site Area - The site extends to approximately 1.63 acres or thereabouts as shown edged red on the attached plan.
Planning - The site to the south of the property has been developed by Taylor Wimpey. Banks Group have also have an outline application submitted for 100 units on the site to the south adjacent to the Taylor Wimpey Development. Furthermore planning permission was granted late last year for the erection of a new Lidl Supermarket and Home Bargains Store located on the A688 closer to the Town.
Given the proximity of this development, it is envisaged that the site has the potential for residential or commercial development. On a strategic level, the site lies to the west of land that will be safeguarded for a potential Barnard Castle bypass, linking the A688 and A67. Consequently, the site is well placed in terms of the current road network but also that which is being planned for by the County Council.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
