Description
The site has reserved matters planning permission (REF:DC/23/0856) for a public house and convenience store (see yellow outlines on the aerial photo provided) on the scheme.
The site is fully remediated to a standard suitable for development. The site was formally ‘landfill’ that accepted inert wastes for disposal as a land raise operation from the early 1970s until its closure in May 2006. Crest Nicholson have undertaken all of the required remediation and warranties are available.
The site is gently sloping from south to north. A topographical survey is provided in the data room. The site is to be sold ‘as is’ in terms of the existing levels.
Savills are currently marketing the residential development plots on the neighbouring Phase 3DEFG, comprising 182 units. Crest Nicholson are retaining the remaining 98 units within that phase.
There are 8 additional retail units that will be available ‘To Let’ which will be available in due course, but any expressions of interest in this space is also invited.
For a detailed breakdown of planning, legal and technical information including reports, please refer to the Land Sale Pack and appendices included in the Data Room.
