Summary - Former Aveley Library, Purfleet Road, Aveley, South Ockendon, Essex, RM15 RM15 4DJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Consented affordable scheme with fast access to London.
Prominent cleared site with main road frontage
A prominent cleared development site on Purfleet Road with planning consent for a 100% affordable housing scheme, this former library plot delivers immediate redevelopment potential in a well-connected Thurrock location. The consented scheme covers 16 flats (10 x 2-bed, 6 x 1-bed) with communal landscaping and 25 parking spaces, allowing a buyer to progress quickly subject to contract and local conditions. The site occupies about 0.68 acres and benefits from main road frontage, gated access and fast broadband and mobile coverage.
For developers or investors focused on affordable housing or contract delivery, the site’s consented permission is a major advantage; supporting documents and architect’s plans are available via the local planning authority under application 22/01682/TBC. A positive pre-application has also been held for an alternative scheme of nine private houses, which may interest buyers wishing to explore mixed-tenure redesign, subject to securing revised permissions. The land will be sold freehold with vacant possession.
Important practical points: the secondary accessway to the rear of The Top House public house is not included in the sale and is excluded from the titles. The site is currently laid to concrete and tarmacadam hardstanding with remaining foundations; clearance and ground works will be needed before construction. The wider area is classified as deprived with average crime levels and mixed local amenities; this is reflected in the existing 100% affordable consent and will affect market values for private sale conversions.
Buyers should note VAT may be applicable and are advised to verify business rates and planning specifics with Thurrock Borough Council. Each party to bear their own legal costs. The location offers good transport links to c2c services at nearby stations and easy access to the A13 and M25, supporting contractor logistics and resident travel once developed.
