Description
A highly desirable development opportunity located in Wivenhoe, within the Colchester District of Essex. The site benefits from outline planning permission and offers strong potential for both residential and care-led accommodation.

A care facility (C2 use) of up to 60 beds (potential to increase - STP)
The bungalows are envisioned as modern, energy-efficient homes, while the care facility is designed to meet supported-living needs and serve as a long-term community anchor.
Situated on the edge of Wivenhoe, the location combines the appeal of a historic riverside town with direct connectivity to Colchester and the wider Essex region. Wivenhoe
The railway station offers regular services to London Liverpool Street in under 70 minutes, while the A12 provides excellent road links to Chelmsford, Ipswich, and the national motorway network.
