Town & Country Property Auctions are delighted to offer For Sale by Public Auction this rare opportunity to purchase approximately 7 acres of Brownfield Building Land that would suit Developers and Community Groups alike.
The land enjoys easy walking access to Highcliffe Town Centre. Conveniently situated on a bus route and within a 4 minute drive to the mainline railway station at Hinton Admiral which runs from Weymouth to London Waterloo. This centrally located site was until recently safeguarded for the now abandoned Highcliffe relief road. The land was compulsory acquired in 1965 with payment compensated as building land at the time. This was confirmed by a Certificate of Appropriate Alternative Development should the relief road ever be abandoned which it was in 2007.
Brownfield Land is usually land that has been previously developed on and found in built-up urban areas such as Highcliffe. As in this case the land already benefits from surrounding transport connections, utilities and community infrastructure. This makes this land hugely valuable in a country where demand for homes is at it's highest ever level.
Highcliffe and Walkford are sustainable locations within an established settlement and therefore have access to all essential services. Highcliffe Medical Centre actually adjoins the site on the A337 Lymington Road. Highcliffe is identified within the Christchurch and East Dorset Core Strategy as an area where residential development will be encouraged and provided. The A337 Lymington Road is designated as a Prime Transport Corridor in the Adopted Core Strategy.
Brownfield Land is prioritised in the UK planning Policy making this site a strategic opportunity for developers. Alternatively, this could potentially appeal to community groups or individuals wanting to keep the site as amenity land for the benefit of the parish and Highcliffe residents.

The property will be entered into our 14th October auction which is held online and starts at 10am. You must register to bid and download the legal pack.
