DESCRIPTION
The development site at Blackhall Rocks extends to 0.35 acres (0.14 hectares) and currently has a detached garage. The site is within close proximity to Blackhall Rocks beach, a popular location with dog walkers. The site benefits from full planning permission for a gated project including the demolition of the current garage building and the redevelopment of the site to three detached dwellings, two having a garage and single driveway and one having a double driveway. There are to be two additional visitor parking spaces so not to impact the current residents of Station Road. The proposed automated access gates add an additional element of security for the prospective property owners.
Full details of the planning permission can be found on the County Durham Planning Portal using reference DM/23/03698/FPA.
