Large serviced plot with consent for 9–16 apartments near Esplanade and South Bay.
Freehold greenfield plot approximately 0.4 acres (0.16 ha)
A rare freehold development plot on Scarborough’s South Cliff, this very large greenfield site extends to approximately 0.4 acres (0.16 ha) and arrives with mains services already installed. Full planning consent and a general development order are in place for residential development, with the site considered suitable for around 9–16 apartments; some upper units could capture sea views from the elevated position.
The location balances coastal appeal with practical connectivity: the Esplanade and South Bay are within easy walking distance, Scarborough town centre is about 1.3 miles away, and the town’s strong tourist footfall supports short‑let or long‑let potential. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting modern residential expectations. The local area mix includes highly qualified professionals and nearby schooling options, adding rental and owner‑occupier demand credibility.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the area records above‑average crime and the site is greenfield, so ongoing planning conditions, build costs and local consultation will be factors. Existing consent reduces some planning risk, but purchasers must verify consent details, S106 obligations and build constraints before exchange. Overall, this plot offers a straightforward route to residential delivery in a well‑known coastal resort for investors or developers seeking a mid‑sized coastal scheme.
