PLANNING - We understand that the property has been used as a workshop premises for several decades, serving various industries and is currently being used as a car workshop and restoration facility. Alternative commercial uses to possibly include storage and distribution would also suit the premises, subject to planning where necessary.
In December 2015, Stoke-on-Trent City Council granted outline consent (Application No: 58896) to demolish the existing buildings to allow residential development, with a proposed scheme illustrating the construction of six dwellings, although the site can accommodate more units. Although this planning consent has now lapsed, it is considered highly likely that a new consent for residential development will be granted.
