Large freehold parcel with outline consent for light industrial and storage uses..
5 acres (2.02 ha) freehold with outline planning consent
A rare freehold development parcel of circa 5 acres (2.02 ha) with outline planning consent for Class E(g)(i), E(g)(iii) and B8 storage/distribution (Colchester City Council ref: 222881). The site is regular, largely flat and grassed, with main access taken from Tye Lane; its shape and size suit a wide range of commercial or industrial layouts.
Located northeast of Wivenhoe, the plot sits close to local services, rail links into Colchester (and onward to London) and the University of Essex/Knowledge Gateway business cluster, offering workforce and connectivity benefits. The site is about 4.5 miles from Colchester and 5.5 miles from J29 of the A12. Flood risk is recorded as none and mobile/broadband are good.
Important commercial considerations: planning is outline only (all matters reserved except access), services are not confirmed and purchasers should verify utilities. VAT is payable on the purchase price and unconditional offers are preferred, although conditional offers dependent on planning may be considered. A data room is available to qualified parties.
This holding will suit investors or developers seeking a sizeable, well-located rural employment site with clear consent parameters and flexibility over final specification. Expect to commission technical surveys and service connections as part of delivery.
