Tain - Former Boating Pond Kiosk - Property for rent

Description

The property comprises a detached, single-storey building of concrete block construction with a flat, fibreglass-clad roof.  The gross external footprint extends to 81.18 sq.m / 874 sq.ft or thereby with a concrete apron surrounding the building.

The property was purpose-built to incorporate public toilets and male and female toilets are located within the buildings footprint (approximately 25%), which are accessed independently.  At present, and of the time these particulars were prepared, internal partitions remain in-situ which block access to the full internal area.

The property has lain empty for a period of time and its condition has suffered.  Prospective tenants are asked to take a view on the property’s condition and reflect their position within their offer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the landlord (Highland Council) does not wish to incur expenditure to bring this property to market, nor for outstanding maintenance works to the property. 

A rent-free period of three months could be made available as an incentive to accept the property in its current condition.

Location

The Boating Pond Kiosk is located within the public Links of the Royal Burgh of Tain which borders the Dornoch Firth.  The kiosk is a short walking distance from Tain High Street (approximately ¼ mile) and can be accessed on foot from the car park serving the Links towards Tain Industrial Estate, or from parking on Chapel Road.  It is predominantly surrounded by recreational amenities.

Further local facilities and amenities are found within Tain, whilst the City of Inverness lies approximately 34 miles south.

The tenant’s proposed use will require the Council’s consent both as landlord of the property and as Planning Authority. If your offer is successful and the Council, acting as landlord offers you a lease of the property, this does not negate your responsibility to obtain any permissions or warrants that may also be required from the Council acting separately as Planning or Building Control Authority.

If you are uncertain whether you would require Change of Use permission, we advise that you contact the local Planning & Building Standards office to discuss your proposed use and to seek advice on any planning permissions or consents that may be required.

The current permitted use of the Property is for the sale of food and beverages. Alternative uses may be considered, however, any departure from the established use may require a Common Good consultation under section 104 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, in addition to any other statutory consents that may be necessary such as planning permission.
