Please contact Patrick Addison at Hollis Morgan Land & Development for access to the Data Room, which holds more information about the planning history and related technical information.

Location - The land is situated in the popular waterside town of Portishead, close to Bristol and M5 motorway. Portishead itself has a number of High Street and independent retailers including Waitrose and many other supermarkets, coffee shops and a well known outdoor swimming pool. This sought after town also offers good schooling at all levels.
The site is also less than a mile from the new Portishead railway station which is currently under construction and will give the town excellent transport links to Bristol & Bath.

The Land - This flat 1.57 acres of land is accessed via the residential street, Cheviot Meadow, and is adjacent to Wyndham Way providing easy access directly into central Portishead via bus and car. The land extends up to the edge of the roundabout at Wyndham Way, and retains a screening of trees and hedgerows on its southern side.

As the land is surrounded by housing on the northern side, it lends itself well to a residential development, however it could be utilised for some form of commercial, subject to planning.

The previous planning consents have now expired.

Pipeline Easement - A pipeline runs underneath the site (east to west), which also runs underneath much of the developed area of Portishead. This was accounted for in the previous planning consents and The Sellers can positively confirm that through conversations with the owners of the pipeline, a development can be designed that will adhere to the easement. We encourage potential purchasers to design their schemes accordingly and to engage with us on this point as we hold documents and information in relation to it from the previous planning consents (available in the Data Room upon request).

More Information | Data Room - The Hollis Morgan Land & Development team have a host of additional information regarding the planning history and technical aspects of the site.

Please contact Patrick Addison for access to the Data Room.
