£65k price slash for pair of derelict Telford homes with planning permission for 10 apartments
A pair of derelict homes in Telford are going back under the hammer next month after planning permission was granted for a new apartment block on site.
After a lengthy planning battle that concluded in 2024, the owner of a pair of semi-detached homes on Slaney Street in Oakengates was given permission to demolish the two properties and build an apartment block on site.
The scheme, which also included space for a retail unit on the ground floor, would see 10 flats built on the site close to the theatre car park in the town centre.
Plans were first put forward by Wolverhampton-based Luxhom Invest Ltd in 2023, but Telford & Wrekin Council planners dismissed the proposal due to concerns over surface water flooding and a lack of parking.
However, the company appealed the decision to the government Planning Inspectorate, which ultimately determined that the proposal could proceed.
The undeveloped plot was then put up for auction last year, with a guide price of £265,000. Now, the site is going back under the hammer - this time with £65,000 off the guide price.
The site, which is being listed by Butters John Bee Commercial, will go up for sale at 6.30pm on Monday, March 9 in an auction at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel, Festival Park in Stoke-on-Trent.
