For sale by Auction. Contact the auctioneers for further details.

Of interest to Investors and Developers.

A prominent former hotel with grounds benefitting from a positive pre-application response response dated 9/1/23 (Ref PREAPP/22/301 - available from the legal pack) The response includes the following two paragraphs -

"......As discussed during our meeting, in my opinion, subject to the principle of development being accepted (as discussed above regarding policies DM41 and DM30), I consider that residential development only will help to overcome some of the challenges of the site and this should be restricted to the existing Rosery Hotel building and coach house (subject to material considerations, particularly trees and heritage impacts in this case), and the existing garden should be retained. A mixed-use site, with a less impactful commercial use, may also be a consideration.

However, as with any proposal, the only way to fully test the merits of the proposed development would be through the submission of a formal planning application. Please see the attached list of relevant documents required if you decide to submit a planning application. This is to be used as guidance only, it maybe that when an application is submitted it comes to light further information is required, that has not been highlighted on this list........"
