Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
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.

    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
