Burston Cook have been instructed to sell this major landmark site located in the heart of Clifton. This site has been redundant for over 10 years and is a unique opportunity for a developer to transform and shape this important part of Clifton Village. Planning consent has been granted for a commercial scheme comprising retail, leisure and office accommodation. The site may also suit student schemes or residential uses for which consent has previously been granted but has since lapsed.
