TENURE
The property is for sale freehold with vacant possession.
SERVICES
Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected but have not been tested. However, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that services are available and adequate for the property.
PLANNING
The current planning use of the property is Sui Generis (Police Use) and therefore any alternative use will require planning permission. The property is subject to a restrictive covenant which prevents the use of it for any purpose other than as a police station. The Police Authority have agreed a Deed of Release to be entered into with both the original contracting party who imposed the restriction and the current freehold proprietor of the adjoining titles with the purported benefit of the restriction. The Deed releases the property from the restrictive covenant and all liabilities relating to it. It is anticipated that the Deed will be completed imminently. Whilst the neighbouring development is an age restricted retirement development it should be noted that the age restriction does not apply to this property. Although the existing building would suit a variety of uses we feel that the most suitable use would be for conversion into residential accommodation subject to planning. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries to Cotswold District Council Planning Department, with regard to their specific proposals.
