St Joseph's School, 48 Old Road East, Gravesend, Kent, DA12

This is a prime opportunity to acquire a well-located residential development site with full planning permission in place. The site comprises two distinct parcels forming part of a wider residential redevelopment of the former St Joseph’s Convent School on Old Road East, Gravesend.

The first parcel has permission for the construction of seven new-build apartments, including six one-bedroom units and one larger two-bedroom unit. These have been sensitively designed to appeal to local buyers and renters, offering efficient layouts and attractive contemporary accommodation.

Opposite, the second parcel consists of a characterful Victorian building with approved plans for conversion into six one-bedroom apartments. The scheme offers the potential to blend heritage architecture with modern internal specifications, enhancing market appeal.

Importantly, the planning consent benefits from no Section 106 or CIL liabilities, significantly reducing upfront costs and improving development margins.
