Description

A greenfield landholding of approximately 8.69 hectares (21.49 acres) on the edge of Colden Common, with frontage and direct access from Church Lane. The land is currently permanent pasture, generally level with a gentle fall to the south, and bordered by mature hedgerows. Mains services are understood to be available in Church Lane, and the listing states that no public rights of way cross the site. The northern Phase 1 parcel extends to about 0.82 hectares (2.04 acres) and is allocated for development under Policy CC4 of Winchester City Council's adopted 2020–2040 Local Plan. The plan identifies an indicative capacity of 10 dwellings. The remaining Phase 2 land, approximately 7.87 hectares (19.45 acres), is not allocated in the adopted plan; it has been promoted through the council's 2025 SHELAA and Call for Sites process for consideration in the next local plan. Planning feasibility would need to be verified. Phase 1 is offered by either an unconditional or conditional contract. For Phase 2, the vendor invites proposals for a conditional contract, promotion agreement or option agreement. Offers should set out the proposed agreement and phase, conditions, term and extensions, premium, development proposal, planning costs and caps, exercise price, minimum price calculation and professional-fee contribution. The land is around 4.3 miles from Winchester and has road connections towards Eastleigh, Winchester and the M3. Viewings are by appointment through BCM Wilson Hill.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a land-led opportunity rather than a house renovation: the listing says 0.82 hectares is allocated under Policy CC4 with indicative capacity for 10 dwellings, and the parcel adjoins existing homes with Church Lane frontage and direct vehicle access. The wider 8.69-hectare holding includes a larger Phase 2 parcel that is not allocated in the adopted plan, so the scope and prospects of that land need to be assessed separately. The 44/100, grade E score reflects limited evidence on value and project economics, below-average fundamentals and elevated risk—not a judgement that the £120,000 figure is cheap or dear. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.

Key opportunities

  • Explore the allocated 0.82-hectare Phase 1 parcel and its stated indicative capacity for 10 dwellings.
  • Assess the Church Lane frontage, direct vehicular access and position adjoining existing residential development.
  • Consider the wider pasture holding as a separate longer-term proposition, recognising that the larger Phase 2 parcel is not allocated in the adopted plan.

Key risks

  • Verify planning feasibility and delivery requirements for the allocated parcel, and do not assume the stated indicative capacity is consented.
  • The larger Phase 2 parcel is not allocated in the adopted plan.
  • Detailed ground conditions and development infrastructure are not shown in the available imagery.
