15/17 Vauvert

Description

15/17 Vauvert and Back Street Car Park are centrally located in St Peter Port, approximately 700m to the west of St Peter Port's town centre and the amenities it has to offer. The site occupies a corner position at the junction where Vauvert meets with George Street and Back Street. It therefore sits in a prominent position on a public two-way road. Although located in a predominantly residential area, non-residential uses in the area include office developments, schools, restaurants, take-away outlets and numerous retail outlets. 15/17 Lower Vauvert is a mixed use property comprising two retail units, two bedsits and two one bedroom apartments. The two retail units are located on ground level and front onto Vauvert. Both are accessed directly from street level and have the benefit of large windows displays fronting onto a public roadway with good levels of footfall and vehicular movements. Within each unit is a WC and kitchenette. On the upper levels, accessed from the rear of the property via an external staircase is a bedsit and one bedroom apartments on each of the remaining two floors. The property also has the benefit of a car park to the east which can accommodate up to 14 cars (seven tandem spaces). The car park is finished with tarmacadam and is accessed directly off Back Street. In total, the site is approximately 0.07 acres (308 sq m). Under the Island Development Plan, 2016, the site is located within the St Peter Port Main Centre Inner Area and also falls within the St Peter Port Conservation Area. This is positive for the site as development within the Main Centre Inner Area is generally supported. Although no formal application has been made, plans have previously been produced in respect of a residential development on the Back Street car park. These pla
