Description
A development opportunity with significant potential, ideally positioned on a desirable road within central Tankerton, conveniently situated within close proximity to Tankerton's charming seafront, shops and amenities on Tankerton Road, and a short walk from Whitstable station (0.8 miles).
The site is currently occupied by a substantial building, formerly in use as a convent, and is being sold with vacant possession. A resolution to grant planning permission of application reference CA/21/02034 for change of use and extension to provide 10 flats with associated parking and communal gardens, was made by Committee in June 2022, subject to a S.106 Legal Agreement. The agreement has never been finalised and the application remains pending.
To the rear of the site there is a potential building plot for an additional detached dwelling with a frontage on to Strangford Road. This has also been the subject of an undetermined planning application under reference CA/22/01782.
Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries relating to planning matters via Canterbury City Council; www.canterbury.gov.uk/planning.
We kindly request that interested parties do not attempt to access the site without an appointment.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
