Description
The site is irregular in shape and is formed in two parts, measuring approximately 0.88 acres (0.37 hectares). The property currently consists of brownfield land, containing a scrub and areas of hardstanding, as well as a Grade II listed Granary Barn at the northern end, which is to be restored as part of the approved scheme.
The site is bounded to the north by an area of scrubland, with East Street beyond. The River Colne forms the eastern boundary, with allotments to the south and residential properties to the west.
The principal vehicular and pedestrian access is currently via a single-track private road to the south of East Street. This track continues southwards through East Bay Allotments to the Wivenhoe Trail and also forms part of National Cycle Route No.1 (NCR 51). The track will be upgraded to provide improved vehicular access to the site, while also forming a secondary pedestrian and cycle-only access point to the south.
PLANNING
The site benefits from full planning permission (Ref: 190424) for 20 dwellings, including the refurbishment of the existing Grade II listed Granary Barn. The housing mix comprises only private units equating to a total gross floor area of 23,476sqft.
The planning application was approved by Colchester City Council on 15th May 2020. Start on Site has been approved, and a limited section of foundation was poured to ensure the consent remains extant.
The application includes provision of a new vehicular access point from East Street to the North, together with a secondary pedestrian- and cycle-only access point to the south.
