An exceptionally rare front‑facing development plot on Leigh Hill with full planning permission (ref 24/00272/FUL) to deliver three large, three‑storey dwellings — the largest unit up to c.3,000 sq ft. The site benefits from commanding estuary and Old Leigh outlooks, south‑facing gardens, large terraces and enclosed balconies that maximise the coastal aspect. Parking, side access and basement-level refuse/cycle storage are included in the approved scheme.
The opportunity suits a small developer or investor seeking a near‑completed planning package in a high‑demand seaside town. The vendor’s GDV and build-cost indications (GDV £4.4m; approximate build cost £2.0m) provide headline project metrics; buyers should verify all costs and assumptions. Services are understood to be available from neighbouring properties, but prospective purchasers must confirm connections and capacities.
Material points to note: the scheme involves partial demolition and rebuild, CIL of £65,297.83 and an above‑average local crime rate. The plot is described as relatively small for the scale of development, and some existing buildings show worn/derelict condition requiring works. Offers are requested unconditionally; an acquisition fee and VAT are payable on exchange. These facts make the site a higher‑reward, higher‑work project best suited to those experienced with coastal renovations and redevelopment.
