56-58 Central Parade, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6

The site extends to approximately 0.21 acres on the
southern side of Central Parade, Herne Bay’s seafront
road, and is held freehold under four registered titles.
The former buildings have been demolished and the
site is levelled, cleared and secured with hoarding,
ready for construction.

Full planning permission has been granted for two
blocks: a five-storey front block with a shell-and-core
ground-floor commercial unit, 10 apartments above
and 10 parking spaces, and a rear block of 9
apartments with communal outside space. Frontblock pre-commencement conditions have been
discharged, the rear-block permission has been
confirmed as extant by a Certificate of Lawful
Development, non-material amendments to both
blocks were approved in July 2026 and Stage 4
technical drawings are complete. A paid structural
warranty and the architect’s and engineer’s drawings
transfer with the site, building control has been
engaged with the initial notice served, and no
nutrient credits are required as the site sits outside
the affected area.

The front-block apartments are designed to a high
specification and all have direct sea views. All but one
have outside space, from balconies to large terraces,
and the fourth-floor penthouse has a very large
terrace with a jacuzzi overlooking the sea. The rearblock apartments are designed to a medium
specification, close to the beach.
