Description

This freehold land presents a promising investment opportunity with full planning permission already granted by Chichester District Council under application reference 24/02198/FUL. The approved plans include the construction of an 88 sqm commercial office unit alongside space for up to 31 storage containers, making it ideal for investors looking for a straightforward project in a well-connected coastal area. Situated just off Bracklesham Lane, the site offers convenient vehicular access while remaining discreetly positioned near the Co-op store. This location not only benefits from proximity to residential and commercial areas but also has excellent transport links to East Wittering, the A286, and beyond into Chichester and West Sussex. With potential rental yields estimated at around £55,000 annually, this development stands out as an attractive income-generating prospect. The rising demand for secure storage options and adaptable workspaces enhances its appeal, whether you're considering it for personal enterprise or long-term investment purposes. Such opportunities with secured planning permissions are seldom available, especially in this desirable coastal region. Note that the site currently lacks services and will be subject to VAT.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £225,000, the asking price is 39.1% below the local average per square foot, making the low entry price a clear attraction. This is a land-and-development opportunity rather than a house renovation: the site is overgrown and undeveloped, with no buildings or services visible, while the listing says planning permission covers an office and storage-container scheme. Verify the permission, conditions, implementation requirements and service connections before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • The approved scheme offers scope to create an 88 sqm office and a storage-container operation on a freehold site.
  • The gated access and perimeter fencing provide a starting point for developing the currently overgrown plot.
  • The stated coastal location and links towards East Wittering, the A286 and Chichester could support workspace and storage demand.

Key risks

  • An undeveloped, overgrown site with no visible buildings or services means a substantial development programme, including establishing service connections, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Confirm the planning permission's conditions and implementation requirements, and independently test the listing's projected rental income and development economics.
