Land for sale in Canvey Island

This property is marketed by:
Colliers

The subject property forms the majority of the large triangular island site bounded by Roscommon Way, Canvey Road and Northwick Road. The site is previously undeveloped and is currently formed of open fields. New accesses to the site would need to be formed as part of its development, most probably where it abuts Canvey Road. 

Tenure

The property is held freehold under Registered Titles numbered EX111164 and EX391179. The site offered for sale is outlined in red for identification purposes only on the plan opposite. A report on title prepared for Wm Morrison is available in the dataroom.

Site Area

Based on the approximate red line area shown on the plan opposite, it is estimated that the site extends to approximately 27.78 acres (11.24 hectares).

Planning Background

The site is currently located within the Green Belt. However, Castle Point Borough Council have drafted a new Local Plan, which is currently being examined by the Planning Inspectorate on behalf of the Secretary of State and adoption of that plan is currently anticipated in Autumn 2021. In the emerging Local Plan, the Council has identified the subject site as a housing allocation with a residential care home. Under the provisions of Policy HO24, the site is allocated to deliver around 196 new homes and a residential care home. The site is therefore considered to be suitable for residential uses and could also be suitable for other appropriate uses once removed from the Green Belt by the new Local Plan allocation.

The Opportunity

The freehold interest in the subject property is offered for sale either on an unconditional basis or by way of a subject to planning contract. Offers are invited on either or both bases.
