SHEPHERD STREET/ROSE STREET
LOCATION
THE SITE IS POSTIONED ON THE CORNER OF SHEPHERD ST. AND ROSE ST. JUST OFF CHURCH ST. IN THE CENTRE OF THE CITY.
THE SITE IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE BUS STATION AND APPROX. ? MILE FROM PRESTON TRAIN STATION.
GIVEN THE PROXIMITY TO THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT LINKS THIS PROVIDES A VERY SUSTAINABLE SITE FOR THE USES PUT FORWARD IN THE PROPOSALS.
SITE AREA
THE SITE AREA COMPRISES APPROX. 0.13hectares (0.32acres). IT HAS A SITE FRONTAGE OF 52m TO ROSE ST. AND 25m TO SHEPHERD ST.
THE SITE DIMENSIONS GIVE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A “LIVE” FRONTAGE WHICH WOULD REPLACE WHAT HAS BECOME A “DEAD ZONE” WITH VERY LITTLE FOOTFALL FROM THE CITY CENTRE.
ACCOMMODATION
THE SITE PROPOSALS ARE FOR 1264m2 (13605ft2) OFFICE/RETAIL ACCOMMODATION TO GROUND AND FIRST FLOOR WITH 22 UNDERCROFT PARKING SPACES.
ABOVE THIS ARE 5 STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION PROVIDING 50No. 1& 2 BED APARTMENTS WITH PENTHOUSE ACCOMMODATION TO THE TOP FLOORS WHICH STEP UP ALONG THE SITE.
THE PROPOSALS CREATE AN EXCELLENT SUSTAINABLE MIXED USE SCHEME ON A SITE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO REALISE ITS’ POTENTIAL AND WILL BE A WELCOME ADDITION AND A CATALYST FOR THE REGENERATION OF THE AREA.
