Land Adj To Little Tillingham Hall

Description

Freehold site for development (subject to planning) extending to approx. 4.31 acres (1.74 Ha).

The site is exceptionally located for employment opportunities, sitting within the Thames Freeport boundary and commuting distance of its Tax Zones.
The Thames Freeport includes the ports of Tilbury and DP World London Gateway, as well as Ford’s Dagenham plant. The tax zones within Thames Freeport are recognised by law as areas where businesses can benefit from tax reliefs to bring investment, trade, and jobs. Having received final government sign off in March 2023, The Freeport continues to promote new investment and high-skilled jobs within its boundary.
The A127 Economic Growth Corridor serves as a vital economic link between London and South Essex’s major towns, ports and London Southend airport. Significant improvements are planned, including widening the road, redesigning junctions and upgrading traffic signalling systems to increase capacity and reliability and decrease congestion.
Whilst the subject site is designated as Green Belt (in common with the adjacent Estates & Agency Strategic controlled land to the east), we note that the Commissioner for the adjacent planning application determined the E&A application land as Grey belt land.
Arguably this determination must also apply to the subject land, which should accordingly be prioritised for development ahead of other green belt land. We consequently consider strong planning prospects for this site without a land allocation or confirmation of the Green Belt relaxation.
