One of Bedford’s vacant plots could finally be redeveloped under new plans submitted to Bedford Borough Council.
The applicant said the site at 111 Warwick Avenue has been empty for around a decade after the original house was demolished following a fire.
Outline permission was granted last year for a 12-flat development (23/01629/MAO).
However, the applicant said this scheme is no longer financially viable.
The applicant describes the land as a “local eyesore” and says the redevelopment would make better use of existing residential land close to the town centre.
More information can be found on the council’s planning portal, reference 25/02279/FUL.
The overall consultation expiry date is Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
