Description
An exciting opportunity to build 19 new flats with parking in central Northampton, with circa 11,500 sq ft of accommodation, with full planning approved.
An opportunity to develop a vacant former nightclub site into 19 brand new apartments, with full planning approved. The site is in the heart of Northampton's urban area, on the edge of the Town Centre, and within the historically important Boot & Shoe Quarter Conservation Area. The nightclub is long since demolished, and due to the previous club basement there is no need to dig out. Accommodation is over Ground, First and Second Floor levels. The site benefits from two extant planning approvals, one for 16 x 1 beds and 3 x 2 beds together with 16 x basement parking spaces and lift, the second planning for 14 x 1 beds and 5 x 2 beds with no basement parking or lift.
