Development Opportunity Church Road, Clacton On Sea

An opportunity to acquire the characterful existing college building and associated Phase One land for conversion and refurbishment into 32 self-contained apartments, with 18 parking spaces. The property lies close to Clacton seafront, with some proposed apartments expected to enjoy sea views, and forms the first phase of a wider consented 60-apartment development.
The proposed sale comprises the existing building and the associated land required for its conversion and refurbishment into 31 apartments, together with 18 parking spaces. The precise sale boundary will be defined by the agreed transfer plan.
The remaining part of the wider site accommodates the proposed 29-apartment new-build phase and will be retained or sold separately. The transaction will therefore need to provide the Phase One purchaser with the rights required to develop and operate its property while protecting the delivery of the adjoining Phase Two land.

A Coastal Location With Regeneration Momentum - The site occupies a pleasant and established part of Clacton-on-Sea, close to the seafront, beach and town centre. Its coastal position is a key feature of the opportunity, with some of the proposed apartments expected to benefit from sea views. Clacton-on-Sea railway station provides services towards Colchester and London Liverpool Street, while the town offers a broad range of shopping, education, leisure and community facilities.
Clacton is benefiting from significant government-backed regeneration. Almost £20 million of Levelling Up funding is supporting a wider Civic Quarter programme, including new homes, commercial and community space, parking improvements, and a new library and skills hub. In addition, up to £20 million is allocated over ten years through the Pride in Place programme to support locally determined priorities such as the town centre, seafront, public realm, community safety, transport, connectivity, heritage and the visitor economy.
Together, these programmes represent nearly £40 million of government-backed investment and provide a positive long-term backdrop for the redevelopment of the College site.
