Summary - THE NEWS CENTRE, LONDON ROAD PO2 9DG
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Prominent freehold plot with strong utilities and major road frontage, ideal for commercial redevelopment..
Freehold development plot c.2.16–2.40 acres (0.87–0.97 ha)
A rare freehold development plot of around 2.16–2.40 acres (c.0.87–0.97 ha) with direct frontage and visibility onto London Road, an arterial route carrying high daily traffic. The site is level and regular in shape, with services to the boundary and a planned 500 kVA power supply, making it a practical option for energy‑intensive or mixed commercial uses. It sits adjacent to a new state‑of‑the‑art electric bus depot and EV charging forecourt, which could support low‑emissions operations or complementary transport uses.
Transport links are strong: approximately 0.45 miles to the A27, c.3.5 miles to the A3(M) and 1.6 miles to Portsmouth docks. The plot benefits from nearby industrial and retail amenities (Hilsea Industrial Estate, Lidl) and good digital connectivity. The site’s scale and road frontage suit a range of schemes — commercial, light industrial, or large‑scale redevelopment subject to planning.
Key constraints are material and must be considered: a planning application has been submitted for a bus depot (23/01470/FUL) on an adjoining area, access will be shared with that development, and the surrounding area records high crime levels. Prospective buyers should note VAT may be payable, standard AML ID and source‑of‑funds checks apply, and any change of use or development will require the appropriate planning consents. Data room information can be made available for due diligence.
Suitable for developers and investors seeking a prominent, well‑connected urban site with immediate utilities and high visibility. The plot’s proximity to transport infrastructure and an EV depot lends credibility for modern commercial or mixed‑use schemes, but buyers should factor in local context, security considerations and planning constraints before committing.
