16 Winnington Street, Northwich CW8 1AD

Auction Date: 26/03/2026 9am

Description

Development opportunity - Plot which offers tremendous scope for development subject to planning with dropped kerb access and in an excellent position along Winnington Street in the centre of Northwich.

The location is ideal, being positioned in the centre of Northwich just 50 meters from Tower bridge and a short walk to the pedestrian high street.

The plot has been cleared so building work can commence once planning permission has been obtained.

The site currently has a pending planning application under Ref. No: 25/01065/PIP for 4 new dwellings. Although since lapsed, similar plans have previously been approved in a 2018 application which can be seen under Ref. No: 18/02427/FUL.

To help show the range of possibilities the site has to offer, although since lapsed, previous planning permission was approved back in 2010 for the construction of 9 apartments and ground floor retail or class A2 financial services and can be seen under Ref. No: 10/00349/FUL.

Should a larger development opportunity be of interest, the neighbouring property is also available for sale through ourselves so there is potential to purchase both.

Location

It provides an ideal commuter base being near to the A49, A556, M6 and just ten minutes from junction 10 onto the M56 to Chester, North Wales and also Manchester.

Just a stones throw away, the Hayhurst Quay scheme created a vibrant waterfront development.
