Business Summary

We understand that the property was originally constructed as a chicken farm around 1955. The usage was changed for light industrial use at a date unknown and it has operated in that capacity for an indeterminate period but certainly since 1994 when the current owner acquired the property. There are 16 units and 9 compounds from which a wide range of businesses operate. All the tenants have a license to occupy but no secure renewable tenure is provided. Notice to vacate varies according to the agreement reached with each individual tenant but none have a notice period exceeding 3 months.

We are advised that the site is designated as B1 and B3 under the Town & Country Planning Act Use Classes Order 2005.
