Summary - Wicks Place, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 2GH
1 bed 1 bath Land
Quiet cul-de-sac site five minutes from the mainline station, ideal for residential redevelopment.
Approximately 0.13 acres / c.5,586 sq ft former car park
A compact but commercially potent city-centre plot with clear redevelopment potential. The former car park extends to approximately 0.13 acres (around 5,586 sq ft) and sits in a quiet cul-de-sac, about a five-minute walk from Chelmsford railway station and close to the High Street, retail and campus amenities. Its location offers strong commuter appeal and local housing demand.
The site previously held full planning consent (19/01148/FUL) for 14 two- and three-bedroom apartments; pre-commencement conditions were discharged but consent lapsed on 11 December 2022. That legacy consent reduces initial design risk and provides a useful precedent, though a new application or variation will be required before construction.
Sold freehold with vacant possession, the plot is ready for an investor or developer who can move quickly. Services enquiries and local searches will be necessary; purchasers should note easements, potential VAT liability and that the vendor offers the site subject to rights of way and wayleaves.
This is a city-centre infill opportunity aimed at developers targeting rental or sale apartments in a strong commuter market. Be aware of higher-than-average local crime statistics and the need to confirm all technical and planning matters before commitment.
