1. The Council’s planning department have stated:
Existing Permitted Use - Ground and First Floor: Class D1: Non-residential institution & Second Floor: Residential (Class C3)
Planning Policy - The site lies outside of the settlement limit for Wrexham, as defined in the current Unitary Development Plan (UDP). It also lies within a Green Barrier. UDP policies GDP1, EC1, EC6, EC12, H3, H5, E5, S7, CLF9 and T8 would be applicable.
The site does lie within a zone C2 flood plain and this is likely to preclude the re-use of the building for residential or other highly vulnerable uses (as defined in Technical Advice Note 15: Development and Flood Risk).
Potential Alternative Uses - The ground and first floor could be used for any other use falling with Class D1 without the need for planning permission. Flood risk considerations mean residential use or visitor accommodation use of the ground and first floor would be unlikely to be supported. Subject to complying with the relevant UDP policies, the building could potentially be used for office or light industrial purposes or for a mix of such uses in addition to the existing permitted use of the premises.
Interested parties should consult direct with the Local Planning Office, Wrexham County Borough Council https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/service/contact-our-planning-department, planning@wrexham.gov.uk & 01978 298994.
2. The information contained within the Particulars are given in good faith, but all descriptions, statements, dimensions ( these may have come from a third party source e.g. the seller, valuation reports or historic sales particulars), references to condition and permissions for the use and occupation or other details are made without responsibility and should not be relied upon as representation of fact.
3. If a video walk through, or any other form of virtual tour, is provided whilst every effort is made to accurately give an overview of the property we cannot give any warranty concerning the nature, and condition of the property and the suitability thereof for any and all activities and use. The video, or tour, is provided to assist only and without responsibility and should not be relied upon as representation of fact, or replace all appropriate due diligence a prudent purchaser would make.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
