LandDescription
A freehold development site on East Street, Southend-on-Sea, previously used as a tyre depot. The land has a lapsed planning consent, under reference 14/01776/ful, for a three-storey building containing four self-contained flats with associated car and cycle parking and refuse storage. A separate commercial proposal is currently with the council, and the vendor may consider an offer subject to planning. The site is also described as Class E.
The location provides access to Southend's shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and other amenities, with the town centre and seafront within reach. Planning documents are available from the agent. Buyers should verify the status and details of all planning matters and undertake their own due diligence. The CGI image is illustrative, and the garages shown in it are not present.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
37out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a development-site opportunity rather than a house renovation: the freehold plot is in an established residential location, and the listing describes a previous consent for four flats, though that consent has lapsed. The vacant former tyre-depot site is visibly overgrown and has loose materials, so clearance and site investigation are part of defining what can be built. The proposed schemes shown in the listing are not completed works, and current planning feasibility needs checking.
The score is 37/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with the location a relative strength but the overall opportunity held back by limited fundamentals and insufficient data to assess renovation economics. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet; no renovation range is available to size the project financially.
Key opportunities
- Explore a new residential layout informed by the previous four-flat scheme, subject to current planning feasibility.
- Consider the site's potential for a commercial proposal, subject to planning.
- The enclosed plot and established residential setting offer a defined site to assess for redevelopment.
Key risks
- Overgrown ground, scattered materials and the former tyre-depot use make clearance and site investigation important; assess any remediation requirements before setting a programme or budget.
- The previous residential consent has lapsed, and the commercial proposal is still with the council; neither scheme should be treated as current permission.
