About this listing

A rare opportunity to acquire the whole of this prominent coastal development site, with outline planning permission for 60 apartments and a flexible two-phase delivery strategy. The approved concept combines the character of the existing former college building with a complementary new-build phase, close to Clacton seafront and within an area benefiting from major public investment. The College at Clacton offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to deliver a substantial residential scheme in two complementary parts. Phase One comprises the conversion and refurbishment of the existing building to create 31 apartments. Phase Two provides for the redevelopment of the remaining land with 29 new-build apartments. The ability to phase the scheme may allow a purchaser to manage capital deployment, construction programming and exit strategy more efficiently. Any separate implementation or disposal of the phases will remain subject to the planning permission, approval of the necessary phasing arrangements, condition discharges, reserved landscaping details and appropriate legal documentation. Planning - The site benefits from outline planning permission for 60 residential apartments. The principle of development, access, appearance, layout and scale are understood to have been approved, with landscaping remaining as the reserved matter for subsequent consideration. The scheme is understood to have no CIL liability and no affordable-housing requirement. Biodiversity provision is anticipated to be capable of being accommodated within the site. Purchasers must verify the decision notice, approved plans, obligations, conditions, biodiversity requirements and reserved-matters position directly with Tendring District Council and their own planning advisers. A Coastal Location With Regeneration Momentum - The site occupies a pleasant and established part of Clacton-on-Sea, close to the seafront, beach and town centre. Its coastal position is a key feature of the opportunity, with some of the proposed apartments expected to benefit from sea views. Clacton-on-Sea railway station provides services towards Colchester and London Liverpool Street, while the town offers a broad range of shopping, education, leisure and community facilities. Clacton is benefiting from significant government-backed regeneration. Almost £20 million of Levelling Up funding is supporting a wider Civic Quarter programme, including new homes, commercial and community space, parking improvements, and a new library and skills hub. In addition, up to £20 million is allocated over ten years through the Pride in Place programme to support locally determined priorities such as the town centre, seafront, public realm, community safety, transport, connectivity, heritage and the visitor economy. Together, these programmes represent nearly £40 million of government-backed investment and provide a positive long-term backdrop for the redevelopment of the College site.
