Property description & features

This c. 0.07 ha (c. 0.18 acre) plot is situated in the Thistle Hill area of Minster on Sea and offers potential for a small residential development or possibly an alternative use subject to all necessary consents.

Location - The site is located in the Thistle Hill area of Minster on Sea approximately one mile from Minster on Sea's High Steet that provides a good range of local shops and services including several takeaway outlets. Next door to the site is a Co-op food store, the Thistle Hill Academy Primary School, the Thistle Hill Community Centre and close by is the Sheppey Community Hospital. Further shops and services are available in Sheerness, approximately three miles north of the site, including a large Tesco supermarket and Aldi store.

Junction 5 of the M2 motorway is around nine miles south of the site and Queenborough station is around 3 miles to the west. Here regular services to Sittingbourne are available where it is possible to change trains to join the High Speed services to London St Pancras. The total rail journey time is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Site Description - The site is located on Camellia Road off Nettle Way to the rear of residential properties fronting Nettle Way and Laurel Road. It extends to c. 0.07 ha (c. 0.18 acre) in size and is regular in shape and level. It is currently secured with Heras site fencing and laid to hard standing.

It is bounded the west and south by two and three storey residential apartment blocks. To the east is the public highway at Camellia Road and the north is a pedestrian walkway linking the Co-op retails store and Community Centre.

Planning And Development Potential - The site formed part of the wider Thistle Hill development by Bovis Homes that was granted Outline Planning Permission in 1995. The masterplan previously proposed that this land was to be safeguarded for a new health centre. However, no healthcare provider has come forward in the 28 years since the Outline Planning Permission was granted and Vistry are currently seeking a variation to the Planning Permission to remove the condition specifying its use. The application reference is 23/500801/OUT. This application was validated on the 20th February 2023 and a positive decision is anticipated imminently.

Once the Condition is successfully varied it is considered the site could accommodate a small residential development scheme or possibly an alternative use. However, it is recommended that interested parties undertake their own assessment of the site both from a development scheme and planning perspective.

Further Information - Further information is available to download from and includes the Site Plan and Title Documents.

Tenure - The site is to be sold on a freehold basis with vacant possession upon completion.

Services - Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant statutory authorities to ensure the availability and sufficient capacity at the site in order to service any proposed development.

Viewing Arrangements - The site is secured but it is possible to a full impression of the opportunity from the public highway in daylight hours. All viewings are undertaken at your own risk.

Vat - We are still awaiting for confirmation whether the land is elected for VAT. It is therefore recommended that in the first instance it is assumed the site is elected and VAT will charged on the purchase price at the prevailing rate.

Offers - The site is being offered by way of Private Treaty and we are seeking offers in excess of £125,000.

The vendor will only consider unconditional offers, subject only to contract and the current application for the variation of the planning use being approved. Completion is expected well before the end of 2023.

Only offers in writing will be considered and all offers MUST include details of any site due diligence that will be required prior to an exchange of contracts. All offers must include evidence to demonstrate that funds are available to complete the transaction.

As a Regulated Industry under Anti-Money Laundering Regulations RPC Land & New Homes will need to verify the identify of all purchasers of the site and this will be completed before Heads of Terms are issued to the preferred bidder.

The vendor is not obligated to accept the highest or any bid made.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
