Description
Description
The site totals 0.83 hectares (2.04 acres) and comprises the former Clifton Hill Sports Centre and rifle range which closed in 2018 and later demolished in 2022. The ‘Brickwork Office’ building, a locally listed building, is the only structure remaining on the site and relates to the site’s historic use as the City Brickfield.
The site is bounded by residential properties along Portland Street on the south eastern boundary, Belmont Park to the North west, and a green space, golf range and ski slope to the south and east. The site is situated within Flood Zone 1 and has a low probability of flooding from rivers and the sea.
The site is owned freehold under Title DN756893 by Exeter City Council. The ski slope, golf driving range and several neighbouring properties have rights of way over the site and the proposed development has been designed to maintain access to these and to the rear of properties on Clifton Hill and Portland Street. Existing access arrangements currently exist near the rifle range.
The Council has precluded the development of the site for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), however the Council is open to a range of other options including but not limited to Residential, Build to Rent, Retirement Living or a mix of uses.
Location
Exeter is a popular city located in the County of Devon approximately 180 miles to the south west of London, 80 miles to the south west of Bristol and 45 miles north east of Plymouth. The city benefits from good transport links, retail and leisure facilities, schools, and a top University. Exeter airport is situated to the east of the city and scheduled, and chartered flights are available to a number of major airports throughout the UK and internationally.
Exeter has a residential population estimated to be 128,900 (Mar 23, Exeter City Council) and is popular both within the local market but also with purchasers relocating to the area from other parts of the country.
Exeter has seen a growing housing undersupply materialise over the past 10 years. The population of the city has grown by 15,000 people since the Global Financial Crisis leading to the creation of 6,000 new households. During that period, new home delivery in the city has averaged around 340 homes per year against an average need of 600 homes to meet the population and household growth. This has led to a shortfall in housing of around 2,500 homes creating pent up demand for new homes.
On the back of this Exeter City Council has unveiled a plan requiring the delivery of 12,000 new homes over the next 20 years. To meet this housing need, housing delivery in Exeter will need to double from its current annual rate.
Exeter University has over 25,000 students and was identified as the 11th best University in the UK by the Times Good University Guide 2024, up from 13th in the preceding year. The University scored an impressive 86% for graduate prospects and 90% for firsts and 2:1s. “Ofsted Outstanding” Exeter College is also highly regarded and acts as a big draw to families relocating to the area.
