The total site area extends 0.43 acres and is being used for light grocery, lottery and gas sales. But it could potentially be developed for residential use or other retail use if planning permission were granted.
Planning permission was previously granted for five two-bed apartments and five retail units to be constructed on the site, however that planning permission has now lapsed.
