PLANNING POTENTIAL/HISTORY
In 2023 the site was subject to a detailed planning application (Application 68009) in which the applicant applied for consent to construct a 30-bedroom mental health care facility. This application was turned down for the reasons stated on the Decision Notice (available to view on line via: https://planning.stoke.gov.uk/online-applications/) however, subsequent discussions with the planning department revealed that only minor adjustments were required to the scheme for it to have been approved. As a consequence of the pre-application due diligence that was conducted by the applicant, a great deal of information relating to the site (Site Investigation Reports etc.) exists and can e made available to seriously interested parties which will save significant time and costs if a further application is submitted.
ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS
In accordance with the anti-money laundering regulations, two forms of identification will be required (e.g. photographic driving license, passport, utility bill) from the applicant and a credit check may also be required, the cost of which will be the responsibility of the applicant. Where appropriate we will also need to see proof of funds.
Location
The site is located opposite the entrance to Welby Street around 150 yards from the A5007 City Road. The A5007 runs between Hanley and Fenton with easy access onto the A50 and A500.
