Land with Significant Commercial & Residential Development Potential (STP)

An exciting opportunity to acquire a freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 0.10 acres, situated in Erith, London and benefiting from gated access directly from Burnett Road.

The site presents significant potential for commercial or residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and consents. The land was historically used as a breakers yard during the 1970s and has since been cleared, although elements of the former hardstanding remain.

No pre-application or pre-planning advice has been sought. Prospective purchasers are therefore strongly advised to undertake their own planning investigations and satisfy themselves as to the potential uses and development opportunities available.

Location & Access

The land is situated adjacent to Burnett Road, an unclassified public highway, providing convenient road access to the site.

The property is prominently visible from the junction of Ness Road, Wallhouse Road and Burnett Road, with the site benefiting from a gated entrance directly from Burnett Road.

Its location within Erith provides access to the wider London road network and surrounding commercial and residential areas, making it an attractive proposition for investors, developers and land promoters.

Development Potential

The site offers potential for a range of commercial and residential uses, subject to planning.

Given its location, existing access and previous commercial use, the land may be of particular interest to developers seeking a compact development opportunity within Greater London.

Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the relevant planning authority and obtain independent professional advice before proceeding.

Site Considerations

The property benefits from a number of existing drainage watercourses which serve as flood defences.

There is also an easement relating to a water supply pipe and pressure drains along the southern and south-eastern boundaries.

Prospective purchasers are advised to review all relevant title documentation, easements, rights and restrictions and undertake their own investigations prior to bidding.

Sale Terms

Pre-auction offers are invited.

The land is offered for sale on an unconditional basis. Purchasers considering alternative uses, redevelopment or future development opportunities are deemed to rely entirely upon their own enquiries and investigations.

Important Information

Every care has been taken in the preparation of these particulars; however, complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Where any information is of particular importance, prospective purchasers should obtain independent professional confirmation.

These particulars are intended as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as a basis for entering into a legal contract or committing expenditure.

Interested parties should undertake their own due diligence and consult with their own surveyor, solicitor, planning consultant or other suitably qualified professional before entering into any financial or legal commitment.

All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate and should be independently verified.

The legal pack and the full terms and Conditions of the auction are available on the Village Auctions Website.
