Renting Out Property Next tto Dual Carriageway

newlandlord555

I have a property with buildings and  a car park total size 35 m square next to a  busy dual carriageway . Any ideas how I can rent it out. Would make a good pit stop fast food outlet i think but its  a bit small . Any suggestions welcome.

What category of use/planning permission does it have?

^This.

And the Highway Authority are likely to want a transport assessment to support any application for change of use, with particular emphasis on how the proposed use would impact on traffic movement and safety.  E.g. fast food outlets typically have high levels of trip generation (= more accident risk) and without adequate off-road parking can cause queuing on the carriageway etc.

Presently it is used for retail, shops . It also has permission for  a  cafe and alcoholic beverage sales .I think at 350 m square its a good size for Mc Donalds type places ?

It’s just grown from 35 to 350m2 ?

That was a good investment.

It appears to have grown from 35 meters square to 350 metres square.

i.e. from 1225 square meters to 122500 square meters.

Personally I doubt it is 30 acres.

Having recently driven down the A1 dual-carriageway (near Cambridge), and seeing mile after mile of roadside pubs / eateries / petrol stations closed down and crumbling to bits, I'd say you're going to massively struggle to make a profit from such a thing.

Location, location, location.

And whatever the current trend is.

Clarify its 350 meters square property.

Location is good . On a very busy inter city dual carriageway.
