The former Livestock Sheds on site are Category B-listed by Historic Environment Scotland (‘HES’) (HES reference LB30283) The former Cattle Sheds on the eastern edge of the site are considered to be within the curtilage of the listing. The site is in close proximity to other Category B and C-listed buildings, including the Corn Exchange at 11 Market Road.

TERMS

Any interest from marketing should only be from parties interested in retaining the existing use / refurbishment of the existing buildings on site.

Expressions of interest are invited from parties seeking to retain/refurbish the former Livestock Sheds and Cattle Sheds in their present, or in an appropriate alternative, use. In this respect, expressions of interest from groups or individuals with a track record in restoration, such as Building Preservation Trusts, will be particularly welcome.

Potential interests must demonstrate a financially viable and sustainable proposal for the site as a whole, as shown in the red line image. Parties must demonstrate a financially viable business case taking into account the current condition and costs of repair. Offers will not be accepted which are subject to planning and/or listed building consent. The vendor will not consider any interest from parties seeking to redevelop the site through the demolition of the buildings within the curtilage of the listing, in whole or part. Under Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Demolition, when demolition of a listed building is proposed on the grounds that the repair of the building is not economically viable, Marketing is necessary to demonstrate that every effort has been made to secure a buyer who would retain the building.
