Description
A consented DEVELOPMENT SITE in the coastal town of Peacehaven, East Sussex with planning permission to demolish the current public house and erect a contemporary apartment scheme with parking and ground floor office/community spaces. The residential element comprises of 7 x one-bedroom apartments, 6 x two-bedroom apartments and 1 x three-bedroom apartment. With the office/community space extending to some 2,000sqft.
Granted by Lewes Council under ref LW/25/0224 there is a resolution to grant planning permission for 14 x well designed apartments over the first, second and third floors. Each unit is well laid out to provide accommodation suitable for the local market for both New Homes sales and rentals. On the ground floor is office/community spaces. Externally the scheme allows for good sized balcony or terrace spaces to take advantage of the coastal aspect and there is an under-crofted access to the parking area.
Residential units range from 541sqft to 1059sqft, and full plans are available on request together with a schedule of accommodation and predicted values.
The site is well placed with its proximity to the A259. The local bus stop is a 2-minute walk away and provides a regular connection through Peacehaven and on to Brighton, Newhaven, Seaford and Eastbourne. There is a Sainsbury's Local within a short walk of the site as well as further food convenience stores, numerous food outlets, local shops and a pharmacy. Access to the Coastal Undercliff Walk is at the end of the avenue, with its sea walks to Newhaven Port, Rottingdean village and Brighton.
As well as the good level of service within walking distance and the onward public transport links, the site is well located with the A259 connecting into Brighton and via the A26 onto the A27 with good wider road links.
