This former school site on Moat Farm Road presents a clear residential development opportunity with planning permission for c.30 homes across c.2.25 acres. The consented scheme proposes 24 houses (mix of 2-, 3- and 4-bed) and six 1-bed flats, supporting a compact new-build street layout with on-plot parking and modest private gardens. The site sits within easy walking distance of Folkestone town centre, the seafront and the rail station, offering strong local connectivity for future occupiers.
Practical advantages include granted planning (Folkestone & Hythe DC ref Y19/0704/FH) and a Certificate of Lawful Development (25/1408/FH), low local crime, no flood risk and excellent mobile signal. The plot is sizable for the area and suits a small-to-medium housebuilder or residential investor seeking a deliverable scheme close to transport links and planned town-centre improvements.
Known constraints and material matters are straightforward: broadband speeds are slow in the locale, tenure is unknown and the pricing schedule notes S106 allocations (six flats and one 81 sqm house) which will affect unit disposal and viability. Interested parties should review the full planning documentation, S106 schedule and utility connections before exchange. All site details, measurements and yields should be verified on inspection and via the planning pack.
For developers and investors the site offers near-term delivery potential in a regenerating coastal town; for those seeking other uses, alternative proposals would require appraisal against the existing permissions and local planning policy.
