Description
Description
The site comprises a regular and relatively level parcel of land fronting London Road (A1214) which is the main arterial route into the centre of Ipswich from the south west.
The site is in close proximity to the Interchange Retail Park where occupiers include Curry’s PC World, B&M Homestore, Pizza Hut and Costa. Adjacent to the retail park is a Tesco Extra and a Burger King drive-thru together with one of the town’s Park & Ride facilities. In addition, there is a Holiday Inn hotel within a few hundred metres of the site. On the opposite side of London Road is an Aldi discount supermarket, Ipswich Veterinary Centre and the Chestnut Tree Farm pub/restaurant, together with Suffolk One Sixth Form College.
The site was granted permission for commercial use as part of a wider planning application which included 475 homes on land to the rear. The houses are now being delivered by Taylor Wimpey. A new access road with an all-directions traffic light controlled junction to London Road has been constructed.
All mains services are provided to the boundary of the site and a 2.85 MWA electricity supply will be provided by the seller.
Land immediately to the west, known as Interchange 55, was granted outline planning consent for industrial uses in December 2022.
With a frontage of approx. 240m to London Road the site is highly prominent and has potential for a wide variety of commercial, leisure and retail uses, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
