Description

The site represents an exceptionally rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a well-located brownfield site with significant redevelopment potential for a variety of uses (subject to planning) in the heart of Weymouth.

The site occupies a prominent waterside location with fantastic views over the Marina and the wider Weymouth Bay. The opportunity offers significant redevelopment potential with a positive pre-application response issued by Dorset Council providing positive support for the proposed wider land use and residential-led principles.

Given the positive planning context, the site offers an excellent opportunity to redevelop and deliver a scheme of significant scale which is likely to attract strong demand for a range of living uses.

The site extends approximately 1.9 acres (0.8 hectares) and comprises a former gas holder site, previously occupied by National Grid. Since being decommissioned in 2021, the gas holders have been removed from the site.
