Clubhouse, Cottage and Moorings on the Stratford Upon Avon Canal Lady On the instructions of the Canal & River Trust TO LET Clubhouse, cottage and moorings on the Stratford upon Avon Canal Lady Lane Wharf Lady Lane, Earlswood, Solihull, B94 6AH KEY FEATURES • Clubhouse and storage • 2 bedroom cottage • Large car park • Up to 50 secluded canalside moorings • Located on the Stratford upon Avon Canal, in a rural setting just south of the affluent town of Solihull LOCATION Earlswood is an affluent village located 5 miles South West of Solihull, 9 miles North East of Redditch and 11 miles South of Birmingham. Road links are excellent, within 3 miles of the M42 (Junction 3), linking with the M40 at Junction 3A. Local services include a village hall, pub, sports clubs (sailing, cricket and football), a small selection of shops and two train stations (The Lakes and Earlswood) which both connect directly with Birmingham (Moor Street and Snow Hill), Stratford-upon-Avon and Stourbridge. The property also benefits from an excellent position on the canal network. It lies on the Stratford upon Avon Canal, on the Northern Stratford section, close to its junction with the Worcester & Birmingham Canal to the north and the Grand Union Canal to the south. Road access to the site is from Lady Lane, a country spur road connecting with the B4102. The site is split across this road, with the main wharf accessed from the East and an additional area of land used for storage and car parking accessed to the West. DESCRIPTION The property comprises a wharf on the junction of the main line of the canal and a spur leading from Earlswood Lakes, to the south. The moorings run along this feeder arm and along the secure, non-towpath side of the canal main line. At the site entrance is a large tarmac surfaced car park measuring approximately 1,350 square metres (14,500 sq ft). An additional 500 square metres (5,420 sq ft) of unsurfaced land on the other side of Lady Lane is also available if required. Within the car park is a concrete single garage with a flat roof and a single storey brick building containing male & female WC’s and a chemical toilet disposal point for use by berth holders. A slipway provides lifting and launching facilities from the canal to the car park, via a short access road alongside the cottage. Leading from the car park, but benefitting from canalside views, is a detached cottage, with brick elevations beneath a pitched, tiled roof and benefitting from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. It provides an entrance hall, living room with fireplace, kitchen, office, bathroom, cloakroom and 2 bedrooms with dormer windows. Sliding doors lead into a private lawned garden overlooking an adjoining paddock. Adjoining the cottage is a single storey, brick built clubhouse. The interior is divided into a public bar (with stage), a lounge bar and kitchen. Glazed doors from the public bar lead into an attractive canalside beer garden. The ancillary areas include male and female WCs, cellar (restricted head height of 1.25 metres) and a separate storage building. The proposed lease will include rights to moor narrowboats on the canalside and off line along the feeder arm from Earlswood Lakes. These are secure moorings, with the sole access via a gated footbridge from the wharf. The canalside land is included within the proposed lease and has been used by berth holders for storage, including constructing a variety of storage sheds. Although a useful resource to boat owners, we can offer no warranties over the planning status of such structures. The moorings comprise an off line run of 333 metres and an on line run of 414 metres, providing a total mooring length of 747 metres (2,450 feet). Up to half a dozen additional moorings are available on the wharf alongside the club building. The moorings have no mains services, a water supply is provided alongside the clubhouse. ACCOMMODATION The floor areas of the buildings are set out below. Floor areas have been measured in accordance with the RICS Code of Measuring Practice, using Gross Internal Area:- Sq m Sq ft Cottage Ground Floor 71.1 765 First Floor 46.4 499 Cottage Total 117.5 1,264 Garage/Stores Single garage 18.5 199 Store between club and cottage 13.4 144 Stores Total 31.9 343 Clubhouse Public bar 97.0 1,044 Lounge bar 26.7 287 Bar servery 4.6 50 Kitchen 15.1 163 Rear lobby 11.9 128 WCs 10.3 111 Clubhouse Total 165.6 1,783 The approximate site areas measured from the Ordnance Survey plan are as follows: Sq m Sq ft Main site containing clubhouse and cottage: 2,930 31,600 Additional land to the north of Lady Lane 500 5,420 PLANNING & LICENSING The property lies within Solihull Metropolitan Borough. Planning permission was granted in 1998 for the permanent use of the main buildings as a clubhouse and associated dwelling. The current premises licence for the club permits trading until 11.00pm Monday to Saturday and to 10.30pm Sunday, open to both members and visitors. The above comments should not be taken as a warranty that any current uses on the site are necessarily permitted or acceptable and interested parties should make their own enquiries to the Local Planning Authority as appropriate. FINANCIAL INFORMATION We have no financial information or trading accounts for the previous club or moorings operations. Interested parties will need to prepare their own financial projections and forecasts as part of their business planning process. The moorings are all occupied on annual mooring licences and the site will be leased subject to these existing agreements. Due to data protection and confidentiality requirements we cannot provide details of individual berth holders prior to a new lease being agreed. The successful bidder will be provided with berth holder information at the appropriate time. The moorings tariff adopted by the previous operator was based upon 80 pence per foot, per week for the main moorings. The charge for the wharfside moorings (which could potentially benefit from an electricity supply from the club) was 95 pence per foot, per week. We assume these charges were inclusive of VAT, so they equate to VAT exclusive prices of £34.67 and £41.17 per foot, per annum respectively. LEASE TERMS Offers are invited for a new full repairing and insuring lease of the entire site, marina and social club premises. The moorings are offered as a going concern subject to existing berth holders, the clubhouse is offered with full vacant possession. The ingoing tenant will be required to submit a business plan for the further development of the business. This should include proposals for any proposed upgrade and investment in the site and facilities, and an outline of a future planned preventative maintenance programme. Proposals will be judged on the viability and deliverability of these plans in addition to the lease terms and rent offered. EPC RATING The EPC rating for the two buildings on site are as follows: Cottage: E Clubhouse: C VIEWING & FURTHER INFORMATION The moorings remain in use and are being actively managed by resident wardens on behalf of the Canal & River Trust. In order to safeguard the security of the site and the amenity of existing berth holders, the wardens have been instructed not to entertain casual visits from potential interested parties.

  • Neighbourhood Development Plan Consultation Purpose
    Neighbourhood Development Plan Consultation Purpose 1.1 The Parish of Tanworth-in Arden lies entirely within the West Midlands Green Belt. Two features - Earlswood Lakes and Tanworth Conservation Area - are particularly valued by local residents and visitors alike. The adjacent conurbations of Redditch, Birmingham and Solihull mean that the parish is under constant planning pressure. The Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) is a community-led framework for guiding the future development and growth of the Parish up to 2031. It contains a vision, aims, planning policies and proposals for improving the area or providing new facilities, or allocation of key sites for specific kinds of development. 1.2 This document seeks views on possible planning policies, including possible sites for development, for inclusion in our NDP as well as possible actions by the Parish Council and others to support those policies. The eventual NDP will play a key role in controlling future development in the Parish. This consultation paper has been prepared by a small group of residents under the auspices of the Parish Council. Summary of consultation 1.3 The NDP is important. Its key aim is to protect the special attributes and facilities of the Parish that residents value and ensure any future development is undertaken in a way which enhances the character of the Parish and respects the Green Belt. 1.4 The NDP forms part of the statutory planning framework for the Parish, and the policies and proposals contained within it will be used in the determination of planning applications. An NDP has to support the strategic development needs of the wider area outlined in Stratford District Council’s (SDC’s) Core Strategy (CS).
