Summary - 5A NIGHTINGALE COURT COLCHESTER CO2 8FJ
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Lapsed consent and strong location offer developer potential near city amenities.
South-side Colchester plot, approximately 0.33 acres (0.13 ha)
A substantial development plot of about 0.33 acres (0.13 ha) on Colchester’s sought-after south side, offered freehold with vacant possession. The site previously benefited from planning (ref: 201339) for two pairs of semi-detached two-bedroom houses, providing a clear starting point for feasibility work and re‑submission. Good local links to shops, transport and the A12 make the location practical for occupants and attractive for resale or rental.
The site is presently overgrown and contains a large oak subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), so clearance and landscaping will be required. There is an established right to connect to services running under Nightingale Court, but prospective buyers must verify service locations and capacities with utility companies. The lapsed planning consent means further planning work will be needed; the planning history can help shape a new application but is not a guarantee of approval.
This plot suits developers or investor-builders seeking a city-edge infill opportunity with existing planning precedent. Expect upfront costs for site clearance, tree-related constraints, and planning consultancy. The surrounding area is mixed: convenient for city amenities yet classified as relatively deprived, which will influence pricing strategy and target market for new homes.
Offers are invited in the region of £250,000. Legal costs are the responsibility of each party, and anti-money-laundering checks will be required prior to exchange.
