Land for Sale in PR6 8LS, Lancashire

Summary: This site is being sold with outline planning permission for a 200 SqM cafe/restaurant. It is a beautiful and popular location by the Leeds Liverpool canal, very rural yet 1 1/2 miles from J8 of the M61.

Additional Information: This site overlooks the Leeds Liverpool Canal, just by the top of the 5 locks which comprise Johnson’s Hillock. It is a very popular location but only served by a “real ale” pub. Outline planning permission was obtained for 200 m2 of café/restaurant, on the concrete base of the old quarry buildings. This could be developed as a full restaurant or as a café with associated sales of crafts and the like. There are many possibilities, although residential use is not one of them. The location, at PR6 8LS, is perfect, being 1½ miles to a motorway junction (J8 of the M61) and yet totally rural. The overall site occupies approximately 1/3rd of an acre with the land between the building and the canal identified as a garden area and the land behind the building being designated as a car park. Access would be from a shared driveway The driveway leads to over 20 acres of land which is currently home to pedigree Highland cattle. This is greenbelt “overlaid” with designated use as “play space” in Chorley Borough Council’s plan. An application to develop 2 fishing lakes has been submitted. In 2009 a large “ice cream” van was operated from the site as can be seen in the photographs. This is an opportunity to buy an excellent and unique location with planning permission to build!
