Property description
30.07-acre residential development land being sold by informal tender.
THE LAND
The joint agents are pleased to be able to offer this attractive prime greenfield residential development opportunity being one of the largest remaining undeveloped but allocated development sites in Exeter. The land is being offered for sale by informal tender on a subject to planning basis in accordance with the details below. Offers are invited for each of the two lots subject to the grant of the existing outline planning applications.
The successful purchaser(s) will be invited following exchange of conditional contracts to engage in the planning process through the production of layout plans and meetings with planning officers etc to support the applications with the contract(s) becoming unconditional on the grant of permission.

Extending to approximately 4.1 hectares (10.13 acres) of open land between Chudleigh Road and Shillingford Road from which a new vehicular access will be created. This land lies to the south of existing residential development in Veitch Gardens and Royal Close and to the north of Markham Lane.

EXETER
Consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the UK, Exeter offers a high quality of life in a beautiful city combining modern facilities with a sense of the past. Founded by the Romans in 55AD the city has a long and eventful history and today is home to some 130,000 people and is the county town of Devon and the heart of a travel to work area of over 470,000 residents.
The city has a full range of facilities, a modern shopping centre, historic buildings, prestigious university and excellent communications links by road, rail and air.
PLANNING
The land offered for sale forms the major part of an allocation for up to 500 dwellings in the Exeter City Council's Core Strategy Development Plan adopted in February 2012. Subsequent to the allocation the land was subject to two separate but simultaneous outline planning applications by the owners in June 2015, the West Lot under application 15/0641/OUT and the East Lot under application 15/0640/ OUT. Although in outline form with all matters reserved other than access the West application was for up to 116 dwellings and the East application was for up to 234 dwellings.
Both applications were presented to Exeter City Councils planning committee in December 2018 and were recommended for approval by planning officers however the planning committee resolved to defer the decision. The officers report to committee included in the technical pack gives details of the proposed 30% affordable housing and financial requirements for the necessary S106 agreement.
The planning authority are now seeking layout plans to support the planning applications prior to their determination. The vendors wish to work with the selected purchaser(s) on a conditional contract basis and invite them to produce layout plans in support of any bid proposal.
