A rare brownfield freehold gateway development site in a highly visible Chester location, directly fronting Hoole Road (A56). The previously surfaced former car park offers a cleared, straightforward plot of circa 0.288 hectares (0.712 acres) with direct vehicular access and strong passing visibility — a clear starting point for medium-density residential or mixed-use redevelopment subject to planning.
The site sits on the urban edge of Chester city centre, six minutes from Chester train station and within sight of key landmarks such as Chester Cathedral and the bus interchange. Surrounding uses are mixed residential and retail, delivering immediate access to shops, restaurants, schools and public transport links — good connectivity supports both rental and owner-occupier schemes.
Planning history exists on the site (various approvals noted) but current permissions are not specified; any buyer should verify extant consents and scope. The plot’s arterial road frontage brings high visibility and passing trade potential for commercial-led elements, but also urban traffic noise that will affect amenity levels for sensitive residential uses.
Practical strengths include freehold title, cleared ground, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, low local crime and no flood risk recorded. Constraints to budget and programme include the need to confirm planning status, any outstanding statutory requirements, and design mitigation for road noise and the busy immediate setting.
