The A356 runs along the northern boundary of the site. Description: The site has an approximate area of 4.04 Ha (10 acres). The main access to the site is off the A356. The front of the site extends to approximately 10 acres and includes a number of buildings totalling approximately 6,156 sq m (66,264 sq ft). The balance of the 10 acres has been used for open storage purposes for many years. The main building with accommodation over basement, ground and first floors was historically used as the main transmission centre for the BBC World Service. Equipment has been decommissioned and is ready for clearance. Outbuildings have been used for workshop and storage purposes. Within the site are two electrical substations held by SSE on long leasehold basis. Access rights are reserved to the substations. The Vendor will reserve an option on approximately ½ acre in the western front corner of the site for battery storage purposes. Accommodation: The existing buildings contained with the site have the following approximate areas: Building Sq M Sq Ft Main Building (Basement – 2nd) 4,318 46,478 Equipment Store 184.70 1,988 Oil Store 28.3 304 Vehicle Service Bay 39.8 428 Garages 80.2 863 Brick Store 20.5 220 Machinery Store 155.8 1,677 Stores 83.7 901 Engineering Workshop (Ground) 246.4 2,652 Engineering Workshop (First) 62.7 675 Electricity Substation 97.5 1,050 Matrix covered storage area 838.7 9,028 Total gross external area 6156.3 66,264 In addition, the Vendor has recently removed a dense network of ducting attached to the South side of the Matrix covered storage area. This ducting covered an area of nearly 2,000 sq m (21,500 sq ft). A detailed 3D photographic survey was carried out by an independent third party prior to its removal to assist in protecting the massing for any future development. Services: The site benefits from a mains 400 volt 3 phase electrical connection and is connected to mains water. Should a purchaser require a supply of High Voltage power there is an adjacent solar farm which could provide a significant level of power at a price well below market prices. Business Rates: The majority of the property is not listed for business rates. The only rates currently payable are for a small workshop (RV of £10,500) and a small office (RV of £4,400). Planning: Interested parties should make their own enquiries with West Dorset District Council as to the suitability of the site for their proposed use. Offers/Title: Offers are invited for the Freehold interest with vacant possession. Available by Separate Negotiation: Adjoining 170 acres of SSSI land suitable for grazing and 3 telecoms masts producing £25k per annum are available by separate negotiation.

  • Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements
    DORSET AREA OF OUTSTANDING NaturaL BeautY Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements DORSET AREA Of OUTSTANDING Natural Beauty Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies – Maiden Newton & South Perrott IntroduCTION These notes build on a series of events organized and commissioned by the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in early 2009. These aimed to explore the potential for addressing the quality of the built and natural environment in rural areas in the context of Dorset’s Rural Roads Protocol. The Dorset AONB has played a key role in helping develop the Protocol alongside Dorset County Council and its other partners. The pilot studies for two villages in the west of the County add to existing studies in the Piddle Valley, and are intended to help explore and develop a range of ideas for communities located on busier A and B roads. Both communities involved in the pilot studies have carried out surveys through their Parish Councils to gather views and opinions about their respective communities. The great majority of concerns centre around traffic, and the detrimental effects associated with vehicles. Typically these include concerns about speed, safety, and the comfort of pedestrians. There are also concerns about the barriers caused by busy roads, the difficulties for cyclists, and actual or potential damage to buildings and structures. Noise and vibrations are also a problem, as well as the deterioration in the coherence, character and quality of the rural built environment. Such issues are not unique to Dorset. Almost every settlement in the country situated on busy roads suffers similar problems.
