Description
The gross site area extends to approximately 0.18 acres and consists of a 1960s building. The building contains former office space and two fire engine bays, with an enclosed parking area located to the east. The site is accessed from Temple Street and via the northern access road that also serves the Civic Centre car park.
The site has become available following Avon Fire & Rescue Service's strategic relocation to their purpose-built Durley Hill facility. This parcel represents one of the final brownfield development opportunities within Keynsham's prestigious Riverside regeneration area. The wider masterplan has already delivered significant success, with the comprehensive transformation of the Riverside offices into residential accommodation with retained commercial units at ground level, alongside the complete redevelopment of Keynsham Leisure Centre.
The location is highly sustainable, occupying a prime position within Keynsham's town centre, with immediate access to the comprehensive amenities of the newly built Civic Centre and excellent connectivity to surrounding retail and leisure facilities.
Planning
The site falls within the administrative area of Bath & North East Somerset Council. The property benefits from full planning permission under Planning Application Reference: 24/00768/FUL for the following:
Erection of 21no. apartments (Over 55's) with ground floor space for Class E use, parking, associated landscaping and public realm improvements, to follow demolition of existing former Keynsham Fire Station building.
The consented scheme benefits from 2no. on site parking spaces, 1no. motorcycle space and policy compliant cycle storage, which equates to 2no. per apartment. In addition, the ground floor commercial area, which will extend to approximately 204 sqm, will benefit from 8no. cycle spaces.
Following a financial viability assessment, the consented scheme has no affordable housing. The planning obligations in connection with the consented scheme are set out in the S106 Agreement. A copy of the S106 Agreement is available for review in the data room.
