Rare prime plot near Sandbanks beaches, cleared for residential proposals and sold with vacant possession.
Approximately 2.61 acres (1.06 ha) allocated for residential development
This is a rare, large coastal site in an affluent Canford Cliffs setting, allocated for residential use in the adopted Poole Local Plan (2018). The broadly level plot (approx. 2.61 acres / 1.06 ha) currently operates as an open-air car park with around 316 marked spaces and regular configuration suitable for a considered residential scheme. A mature tree perimeter provides natural screening to neighbouring homes and helps define development edges.
The site is being sold with vacant possession and will be conveyed subject to a 250‑year lease. While the allocation in the Local Plan supports residential proposals, there is no extant planning permission; development will therefore proceed subject to securing planning consent. The property’s frontage, road access points and topography offer flexibility in design and layout for apartments or larger detached homes targeting the premium local market.
Canford Cliffs enjoys immediate access to Blue Flag beaches, waterfront promenades and high-quality local amenities, placing new homes within walking distance of Sandbanks, cafes, restaurants and sailing facilities. Transport links include nearby Parkstone rail station and easy access to the A35/A338 for routes towards Bournemouth and London. The area’s very affluent demographic, low crime and excellent broadband/mobile signal underpin strong market demand for high-end residences.
Buyers should factor in the planning process, site remediation and conversion from car park use, and any design constraints imposed by mature landscaping and neighbouring properties. Unconditional offers are invited; a bid deadline is set for 12 noon on Thursday 28th August 2025.
