Description

A rare development opportunity extending to 0.11 hectares (0.27 acres), offering full planning permission (ref HS/FA/24/00620) for the demolition of the existing dwelling and garages and the redevelopment of the site to provide eight apartments and a replacement detached dwelling, designed with the possibility of later being split into two, subject to consents. The consent carries no Community Infrastructure Levy, no affordable housing contribution and no known Section 106 obligations, a genuinely attractive position for developers, land promoters and investor builders alike. Upper floor apartments within the approved scheme are set to benefit from elevated views across the Old Town Valley, while the wider setting, tucked away and village like in feel, offers walking distance to local shops, schools and amenities, excellent access into Hastings Old Town and a short drive to Fairlight Country Park, positioning the completed scheme firmly towards the upper end of the local apartment market. Until such time as the consent is implemented, the site continues to offer a substantial detached 1930s house with flexible, if now dated, accommodation, a wide frontage with parking and a double garage, and gardens that wrap around the property. To the rear, a large workshop, further garaging and extensive parking, together with a separate vehicular access to Saxon Road, form part of the site's current use and add to its versatility. Whether pursued as an immediate build out opportunity or acquired and held pending implementation, this represents a rare and deliverable proposition within a highly sought after pocket of Hastings.
