Local Centre Land, Marlingford Road, Easton, Norwich, NR9 5DR

Description
The land comprises a fully serviced site, formerly being part of
an agricultural field and now being part of a large residential
scheme, allocated for commercial development of a local retail
centre. The land does not currently have a dedicated access but
purchasers will be encouraged to create an access along the
western boundary.

Location
Easton is a busy commuter village located some 6 miles west of
Norwich city centre and 9 miles east of Dereham, with direct
access to the main A47 trunk road. The village has a growing
population of 1,436 (2021 census) with continued residential
development increasing this.
The village is well served, having a primary school, newly built
community centre and fish and chip restaurant, as well as being
home to the Royal Norfolk Showground and a campus of the
Easton and Otley College. Other nearby business and facilities
of note include: Group 1 BMW, Premier Inn, Costessey Park &
Ride, Peter Field Golf Centre, Next, Sainsbury's, McDonalds,
Bannatyne Health Club, Longwater Retail Park, Aldi, the Norfolk
Food Hall and the Food Enterprise Park.
The land forms part of Persimmon Homes and Charles
Church's Festival Park development and occupies a central
position within the village, accessed from Marlingford Road.

Terms
The property is being offered for sale, on a freehold basis. Both
conditional and unconditional offers are invited. The vendors will
require evidence that due diligence and relevant planning
enquiries have been undertaken before any offer can be
accepted.
In accordance with the latest Anti Money Laundering (AML)
legislation, the purchaser will be required to provide proof of
identity, address and source of funds to the selling agents prior
to solicitors being instructed.

Planning & Use
The land forms part of a large outline residential planning
application, granted consent in 2016, consisting of 890
dwellings, a village hall, extended primary school, a retail store
and areas of open space. The subject land is the area allocated
for the new retail store, with the permitted use being a retail use
for convenience goods and no other purpose.
The outline permission has now lapsed and therefore
prospective purchasers will be required to submit their own full
planning application for development of the land in accordance
with the previous consented use.
