SlicktrackSandy 71 Posted October 5, 2022 Just now, SlicktrackSandy said: That could very well be the case as previous potential buyers seem to have stayed away from it. If the land is indeed suitable for housing - pretty sure it would have been taken up by now to complement the existing new estates. Only other possible use for the site may be something like a supermarket or summit else adding community value, although the former prospect was ditched before by Tesco ? - maybe for a similar reason. Hard to see what a buyer with a million pounds would have for it. Would have thought that industrial units or even more self storage facilities would not be too welcome in this residential neighbourhood. Maybe a Luxury Hotel or David Lloyd type indoor sports/spa facility is just what Armadale needs ? If I was the Cochrane family owners I would take the best offer so far and run or be reconciled to another very long wait for interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said that a week ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently one house builder reviewed the site and considered the land unviable for developing for housing. I believe there was suggestions of historical ground contamination of the site due to the dumping of waste slag earlier from a then nearby foundry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he wants to ride north of the border with his girlfriend being from here. Would I take him in a 7 point average probably not imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlicktrackSandy 71 Posted October 12, 2022 Possibly less of a gamble now than in previous years. Certainly looks more like doing what he is capable of.. 1 hour ago, JanAndersen said: A year ago no but he looks fitter, motivated and quick. I think there would be worse 7 point options out there.
