- 4.5 acres consented; further 5.9 acres potential subject to planning
- Section 106: 40% affordable housing, education and highway contributions
- Former gravel pit; remediation method statement available on request
- Mains services available for connection to site
- Freehold sale; 50% overage on enhanced planning uplifts
- Very affluent, low-crime location with fast broadband
- Close to Witham station and A12 for commuter access
A substantial, consented residential parcel on the edge of Great Totham offering immediate delivery potential. Planning permission (ref 20/00428/FUL) is in place for 30 homes across approximately 4.5 acres, with all pre-commencement conditions discharged and mains services available for connection. The site sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband, good local schools and convenient road and rail links to Witham, Chelmsford and Colchester.
The legal and planning obligations are significant and transparent: a Section 106 requires 40% affordable housing, education contribution, highway improvement works, and public open space, plus a travel plan. The site was a former gravel pit; a remediation method statement exists and should be reviewed by purchasers. An overage clause of 50% of any uplifted land value applies if enhanced planning permission is obtained.
For an investor or developer, the combination of consented plots, on-site services access, and attractive village-edge setting creates a clear route to construction and sale or rental. The additional 5.9 acres identified for future development offers longer-term upside but requires separate consent. Buyers should plan for the S106 costs, remediation obligations and the potential overage payment when modelling returns.
