This substantial 1.06 ha (2.47 acre) freehold site on Southampton Road presents a clear development route: outline planning consent for up to 39 dwellings (all matters reserved except access) was granted in November 2022. The parcel is flat, largely grassland with a 1.5-storey detached property in the northwest corner, and benefits from strong transport links — M27 Junction 9 is c.1 mile and Swanwick station c.1.5 miles away.
The consented scheme provides an illustrative layout, 40% onsite affordable housing and a current density of 37 dph, although the masterplan indicates potential to increase unit numbers subject to reserved matters. There is scope to implement the existing consent quickly or submit an alternative reserved-matters design to optimise value. The local authority has indicated likely highway adoption northwards once neighbouring land is developed, which could free additional land in the north-east corner (STP).
Buyers should budget for planning-related costs: an approximate Section 106 contribution of £327,000 (not indexed), a nitrate mitigation payment of £190,400 plus VAT, and Community Infrastructure Levy at £105 per sqm (indexed). The vendor has elected to waive the VAT exemption, so VAT will be payable in addition to the purchase price.
This site will suit residential and mixed-use developers seeking a near-term delivery opportunity in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent road links and adjacent retail provision. Offers are invited on an unconditional or subject-to-planning basis — due diligence on S106, services and other statutory requirements is recommended before offer.
