Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
With residential development sites increasing in scarcity and an upward pressure being observed on the requirement for new build homes, this site will undoubtedly be an appealing prospect to numerous small and medium scale development companies or investment purchases due to its relative rarity.
A freehold parcel of land with historic use as a foundry/engineering works, the location of the site could not be more convenient being just a short walk from the numerous shops within Brook Street as well as those within the thriving heart of Hoole and the historic Roman city of Chester with all of its attendant amenities and facilities. Fast and efficient mainline railway services from the Chester general station are also but a short distance away.
Rooms
Planning Permission
A substantial brick built commercial building currently occupies the site but on 5th October 2020 an enhanced consent/variation of original planning permission was granted by Cheshire West and Chester Council, under application number 20/02753/S73. This permission is a three year consent, further details of which can be obtained via the selling agents or from the local authority via the Cheshire West and Chester Council website/planning portal. Prospective purchasers should take particular note that this consent is subject to various conditions. Interested parties should therefore undertake a thorough examination of the planning consent document including those conditions prior to proceeding with a purchase.
Surveys
Prospective purchasers should note that the vendors have carried out an asbestos survey as well as a phase 2 soil investigation, details of which are available upon application to the selling agent.
Demolition
Prospective purchasers should note that the agents are informed by their client that quotation for the demolition of the existing building including asbestos removal has been obtained for a sum in the region of £37,000.
Community Infrastructure Levy
The agents understand from their vendor clients that an approximation of the CIL liability based on the total floor area of the development itself has been calculated at £87,158.
Directions
From Chester, proceed out of the city along Hoole Way, taking the right-hand turning prior to the railway bridge signposted for the railway station. Turn almost immediately right again at this point into Brook Street and continue for a short distance, turning left at Charles Street and after a very short further distance, the existing commercial building will be observed on the right-hand side and next to the recently constructed Watkin Jones development of townhouses, which provides an excellent comparable for the site itself as well as a track record of the popularity of the eventual build within the specific area.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
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
