This freehold plot offers a ready-to-build opportunity with full planning permission for 14 two-bedroom luxury apartments arranged over six floors. The site benefits from an elevated south‑west aspect with balconies or terraces on several units, delivering panoramic views across Tor Bay — a strong value driver for premium coastal buyers or rental demand.
The consent (P/2020/0925) includes undercroft parking with one allocated space per apartment, lift access to all floors and a confirmed Certificate of Lawful Use (P/2024/0609/CP). Several planning conditions (1,2,12,14 & 15) have been discharged; a CIL Liability Notice of £104,976.50 applies and should be factored into development costs. No Section 106 agreement and no affordable units are required under the consent.
Practical considerations are significant and should be weighed by purchasers. The site lies within the Belgravia Conservation Area, which may constrain exterior treatments and finishes. The surrounding locality records very high crime and high deprivation levels, which could affect rental yield, resale values and security requirements. The site was cleared of the former hotel and is positioned above Royal Terrace Gardens with straightforward access to the seafront.
For investors or specialist developers targeting premium coastal product, this plot offers fast delivery potential and marketable sea‑view apartments. Costs to budget for include CIL, conservation-area compliance, standard site services and any developer-design uplift to meet luxury finishes and security measures expected in this setting.
