As the site has likely been used as a boatyard/mixed commercial/distribution etc, the use class for the site is likely to be Sui Generis. For confirmation of this an application for a Lawful Development Certificate would need to be made. Interested parties are therefore advised to make their own enquiries direct with the Colchester City Council planning department.
