Description
LAND WITH OUTLINED PLANNING - The Former Water Pumping Station close to the High Street of Sittingbourne with outline planning for the erection of a stylish 5 storey apartment scheme comprising of 26 apartments
A former water pumping station set close to the main High Street of Sittingbourne and easy access to the mainline Railway station, with outline planning for the erection of a stylish 5 storey apartment scheme comprising of 26 apartments with scope to create 44 units.
With on site parking and only 3 units allocated as shared ownership this is a versatile site that will suit a number of onward uses including a speculative build, build-to-rent and surrogate affordable housing site.
The Property
Located off St Michaels Road and found a short walking distance to both the local amenities of the High Steet and the Sittingbourne railway station. Planning has been granted, approved by Swale Borough Council under ref 24/500438/OUT, to decommission the former water pumping station and erect a stylish block of apartments.
Each apartment offers private balconies or private gardens, with the 2 & 3 bedrooms offering ensuite bathrooms. Making these units suitable for both sale and rental.
Further plans have been prepared, but not formally submitted, for an intensified scheme of 44 apartments, as shown in the CGI within a slightly large and higher massing. Details of which are available on request.
Proposal
Offers are invited for the site based on the current planning consent. And a full set of consented plans and reports are available on request.
Contact
The site is vacant and potential buyers are encouraged to visit the site prior to making offers.
Location
Sittingbourne is located in the Swale area of North Kent, this thriving town is full of cafes and restaurants and hosts a weekly Friday market. Sittingbourne is also home to the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway, which puffs back into the town's paper-milling past. The 52-hectare Milton Creek Country Park has play spaces and trails among its meadows and wetlands, while the marshes and mudflats of the Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in Faversham give host to migrating, overwintering and breeding birds. The town offers an excellent range of schools and also fantastic access to London via the M2 and train station.
