This opportunity extends to 7.4 acres (3 hectare) and is located approximately 2 miles from Colchester City Centre. The Site is vacant with a number of industrial warehouse buildings and associated car parking.

The Site benefits from outline planning permission (application number 212810) for the comprehensive redevelopment of the site, for a residential-led development. This application was granted in September 2022 by Colchester Borough council for up to 30 houses and apartments, where 30% of the homes will be delivered as affordable tenures. A scheme has been provided from 5plus Architects which envisage an appropriate car parking provision for the homes and flats, and private outside space for all houses.

The Site is located in an area known as Hythe, which is situated less then 2 miles to the south-east of Colchester town centre. The Hythe area is predominantly a residential suburb along the banks of the River Colne. The Site sits within close proximity to many local shops, supermarkets, trade stores,restaurants and pubs.

There are three train stations within 2 miles of the Site, Colchester Mainline Station provides a regular and direct service into London in as little as 45 minutes.

The Site is located in the established City of Colchester, Essex. The City is one of Eastern England's key residential and commercial hubs and sits less than 60 miles from Central London.

Colchester is perfectly located with picturesque, coastal villages on its doorstep. The City has a rich heritage that dates back over 2,000 years, being Britain's first City and the first Roman capital in England.

Immediately to the south of the Site is Port Lane Industrial Estate, otherwise the Site is bound to the north, east and west by
established residential development. Of particular note is the scheme to the north of the site which consists of 224 homes and has recently been delivered by Bellway Homes.
