A block of almost 8 acres of prime development land has become available in Horndon-on-the-Hill in Essex. The site currently has one residential property and multiple outbuildings on the site. It was previously a pig farm.
A planning officer from the local council has been out to the site and indicated that any planning application would be looked upon favourably. During his inspection he indicated that the site could be developed for residential use and indicated that the site could accommodate approximately 52 properties. Documentation from this visit is available to download through the supported document pack.
The site has immediate road access and is surrounded by existing residential properties. It benefits from fantastic views due to the slightly elevated position. Having not been used commercially for the last 20 years, the site is ready for redevelopment in an area of Essex that is desperate for housing.
The Thames Gateway redevelopment and investment is bringing in an additional £1.2billion pounds into the surrounding area. Part of this redevelopment includes redeveloping and expanding the port and industrial areas, bringing tens of thousands of new jobs to the area. Situated just ten miles from this newly regenerated area, this land provides the perfect opportunity for a developer to build a new housing estate to provide homes for the new gateway workers.
