Description
The site is currently vacant and was formerly used as playing fields for the former Spires Academy. It is rectangular in shape and extends to approximately 3.36 acres (1.36 hectares). Playing pitch provision has been re-provided at the new school to a higher standard, we understand that this mitigates any concerns over the loss of sports pitches.
The site is bound on all boundaries by well-established vegetation which provides screening. The new Spires Academy is located further along Bredlands Lane and was previously granted planning permission in 2015 to develop the current buildings in addition to 80
residential dwellings.
The site has been submitted to Canterbury City Council in the ‘call for sites’ and has been allocated in the Draft Canterbury District Local Plan under Policy N33 for 37 dwellings.
Nestled on the banks of the River Stour, Sturry is a charming and well-connected village just northeast of Canterbury. Combining scenic countryside surroundings with excellent transport links and everyday conveniences, Sturry offers an appealing balance of rural tranquillity and modern accessibility.
The site is approximately 3 miles from the centre of Canterbury A28 and approximately 1 mile from Sturry town centre. The train station provides services to Central London and towards the Kent Coast. Whilst the site falls within the area of Westbere, it lies adjacent to Hersden, which benefits from a range of local facilities including a primary school, secondary school, local shops and a community centre.
Sturry is well-served by local schools and healthcare facilities, making it particularly attractive to families. A range of supermarkets and retail options are available nearby, with further shopping, dining and leisure opportunities found in Canterbury.
