2.94 hectares with detailed consent for a 54‑bed care building near A1(M) J8..
Full planning consent for 54‑bed C2A building (Ref: 22/00098/FPM)
A rare, large healthcare development site on Graveley Road with full detailed planning consent for a three‑storey C2A building (54 beds, gross internal floor area approx. 5,343 sqm). The 2.943 hectare (7.26 acre) plot sits immediately east of the A1(M) (J8), giving fast road links to London, Stevenage town centre and the wider motorway network — a strategic location for specialist care provision or allied healthcare uses (subject to planning).
The grant of detailed consent (Planning Ref: 22/00098/FPM) significantly de‑risks initial planning work: access, parking, landscaping and associated works are included, and the permission demonstrates the principle and scale of development the local authority has accepted. The site is largely flat grassland with mature tree boundaries and existing nearby infrastructure, which should simplify delivery and utility connections, subject to confirmation.
Important constraints are factual and must be considered by buyers. Broadband in the area is reported very slow; the recorded local crime level is very high. Tenure is currently unknown and will require clarification. The site’s planning status is for C2A use; alternate or expanded healthcare uses would require separate consents. Buyers should review the technical reports included in the information pack and carry out their own surveys and due diligence on utilities, access details and site conditions.
For an investor or operator in the healthcare sector this parcel offers immediate development potential with permitted consent in place and excellent road connectivity. The permission and location reduce early‑stage delivery risk, while the site’s size and proximity to the local hospital corridor make it suitable for a range of specialist care propositions, subject to confirming tenure and addressing the local infrastructure and community constraints.
