A prominent freehold development parcel of approximately 0.9 acres (0.36 ha) on the northern approach to Colchester, fronting the entrance to Colchester Sports Park and located immediately north of Junction 28 of the A12. The cleared, level plot delivers high roadside visibility and direct access from a busy roundabout, with immediate adjacency to a Park & Ride, BP filling station and established drive‑thru operators.
Pre-application advice confirms the site sits within an established business park zoned for employment uses. Subject to planning, the location is considered suitable for a range of roadside and commercial uses such as drive‑thru takeaway, automotive (showroom), petrol station/EV charging, light industrial, logistics or data centre, offering flexibility for investor or developer occupiers targeting roadside trade and last‑mile logistics.
Mains water, electricity and drainage are available to the site boundary but connections and on‑site works will be required. There is a data room for interested parties; due diligence and statutory planning enquiries should be carried out with Colchester City Council. The sale is by informal tender with a submission deadline, and purchasers will be subject to normal anti‑money laundering checks.
Location is a key strength: two miles from Colchester mainline station, direct access to the A12 and wider trunk network, and close to substantial sports and leisure facilities that generate consistent local traffic. The site has low flood risk and benefits from fast broadband, making it well suited to modern commercial and roadside occupiers. Note the site is in an employment zoning designation, so residential development is unlikely without a change of use and formal planning approval.
