Development Opportunity: Planning Consent for 14 Residential Apartments

Torquay is a large seaside town on the South Devon coast. Along with the smaller towns of Paignton and Brixham it makes up the borough of Torbay – popularly known as the English Riviera.  

The site is located on Union Street, at its junction with Trematon Avenue in central Torquay, between the town centre and the Torre and Upton areas.   

Strategically well located in terms of convenience, travel routes and transport infrastructure, as well as being in superb proximity to all nearby amenities.  

Local draws for residence includes the park and play facilities at Upton Park, the shops and eateries in the town centre, and the walkable proximity to Torquay’s harbour and popular Torre Abbey Sands. 

The property is Torbay’s former magistrates court and internally is laid out for such use, with an assortment of offices, courtrooms, and a small holding area with cells. To the rear of the property is an enclosed loading/ parking area. 
The approved planning application covers the conversion of the building to form 14 residential apartments, including partial demolition, the provision of an additional floor, and external changes including the provision of balconies, terraces, and associated car parking, bike parking and bin storage.
