Description
The Site - Formerly 9 and 11 High Street, the site comprised a pair of semi-detached, three-storey, 4 bedroom dwellings which have since been demolished, leaving a cleared site extending to approximately 0.07 acres. The site occupies an elevated position on Fortuneswell’s High Street, within easy reach of a range of local amenities.
Local Architect, Crickmays Stark, produced a Design and Access Statement for Dorset Council suggesting the conservation area site may be suitable for 6 apartments maintaining the external appearance of 3 townhouses, and this will be provided in the legal pack for information purposes only. No planning application was made following production of the Design and Access Statement and no representation is given that the Crickmay Stark indicative design or something similar would be acceptable in planning terms.
Full planning permission was granted in February 2025 for the demolition of the existing dwellings under Planning Ref. P/PPRD/2024/07247. No planning application has been submitted for a replacement scheme, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding future development potential.
Situation - Occupying a convenient position in the heart of Fortuneswell on the Isle of Portland, within easy reach of a range of local shops, cafés, supermarkets, schools, and everyday amenities. The area enjoys excellent access to the spectacular Jurassic Coast, Chesil Beach and Portland Harbour, while nearby Weymouth provides a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo and Bristol, together with wider shopping and leisure facilities.
