The subjects comprise approximately 2.97 hectares (7.34 acres) of vacant land, situated between the A75 Dumfries bypass and the old railway branch line which is now a cycle path. It is understood that parts of the site were utilised as the construction compound for the bypass and that parts of the site were regraded and levelled for this purpose. Some of the site area is therefore made up ground. A copy of a Ground Investigation Report can be made available to prospective purchasers to be read at the Council’s Marchmount House office (unfortunately only one copy is available). This Report is dated July 1992.
