A rather unusual development opportunity in that the 'donor' property; a working men's club was only built in 2016. Our clients acquired the property as an investment and secured planning permission to extend and convert the building to provide a day nursery and 4 residential apartments. Whilst development sites continue to prove popular, in our opinion the consent didn't necessarily add to the existing use value. Our logic is that standalone buildings with E or F class use are highly sought-after by faith and educational groups, and the value to such a buyer could negate the development angle entirely. The property proved popular in the market with offers received for a variety of uses. Ultimately the existing F-class use prevailed, with the property sold to a local faction of an international faith group.
