Key Points

Summary

Development/Investment Opportunity with planning consent granted

Description

The site is a triangular-shaped site which is generally flat with a dilapidated former pub occupying a north west position. The site has an approximate area of 0.835 acres (0.338 ha).

The site is part tarmacked, part lawned, with low lying vegetation surrounding the boundaries of the demise.

The proposed consented building has been designed in a traditional style with gable roofs. To reduce the overall bulk of the single storey restaurant roof the architect has introduced a Dutch gable. The choice of bricks and roof tiles and joinery materials are also traditional in style but exact materials form a condition of the consent.

In terms of the main pub/restaurant, this will provide approximately 60 covers in the restaurant and 32 bar covers. In addition to this, there will be a large commercial kitchen and storage areas, these will be associated with running a restaurant of this type. At first floor level, there will be staff changing facilities adjacent to a self-contained manager’s/owner operators flat.

The total building area proposed is 485 sq m on the ground floor, restaurant/ public house with a further 178 sq m for the first floor.

The site has been laid out to move the building further to the rear of the site, which will provide an improved setting for the building, and this will enable some external dining to the front of the restaurant near the entrance. This will also allow for access to the side elevation for deliveries, and storage. Car parking will be to the north & west of the site. The vehicular entrance where it is proposed, is an ideal location where the speeds of traffic on this road with the new roundabout will be greatly reduced. The amount of car spaces shown are 50 spaces (9 EV), of which 3 spaces will be for disabled spaces. There will also be 6 cycle spaces, and an area for at least 4 motorcycle spaces.

Location

The subject site is located in Little Wratting which is positioned to the north-east of Haverhill next to the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire.

The site is in an excellent position next to the Great Wilsey park development overall the entire scheme when complete will deliver 2,500 new homes, two new primary schools, two local centres, leisure and recreational facilities, landscaping and other infrastructure.

The site itself is positioned fronting the new roundabout which links Haverhill Road (A143) running from the north east to south west, Farrant Road in the west and as part of the North West Haverhill development proposals, a new link road will be delivered from the A143, Haverhill Road (‘the Bury Road’) around the northwest of the town to the A1307 Withersfield Road.
