APPROACH

• Acting on behalf of the Landowner Northern Trust entered into extensive consultation with the Local Authority regarding the redevelopment of the site for a hotel. 
• The site is located in the open countryside and a number of ecological and environmental constraints were identified. The hotel layout and design was tailored to take into consideration these constraints whilst providing an economically viable scheme.
• Led by Northern Trust's team of technical experts, a detailed remediation strategy was prepared and agreed with the Environmental Agency.                                                            
• In parallel to the remediation works, a Floord Risk Assessment identified that levels across the site needed to be raised.

STATUS

• The remediation process has been completed to provide a safe development platform for the hotel.  
• Consent was granted for demolition of existing buildings, the erection of a two and a half storey and single storey hotel comprising of 31 bedrooms, restaurant, bar, function room, spa and associated facilities and revised accessing arrangements. 
• The site is now actively being marketed by Northern Trust as part of a disposal strategy. For more information and to express interest in the site, contact Northern Trust on 01257 238555.
