Introduction
Fisher German and JLL are appointed to offer for sale the development site known as St Martins Gate, Worcester.
The site comprises a previously developed site which is rectangular in shape and is orientated east-west with its long side fronting St Martin's Gate which in turn forms the southern boundary of the site.
This is a prime development opportunity located within a short walking distance of Worcester's centre as well as both Foregate Street and Shrub Hill railway station.
Location
The site is located in Worcester, to the east of the city centre. The city itself lies under 30 miles to the south of Birmingham via the M5 motorway.
West of the site and City Walls Road are the principle shopping streets, The Shambles and High Street thereby offering very easy access to the City's wide range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants as well as many of the centrally based businesses. Immediately adjacent to the site is St Martin's Quarter, a retail development comprising Asda, Sports Direct, Costa Coffee and Pure Gym together with associated multi storey car park. To the south of St Martins Gate is the City Council owned and operated St Martins Gate car park.
Other notable nearby occupiers include ASDA, Sports Direct, PureGym, Subway, Carphone Warehouse and Ladbrokes.
The site is easily accessed by road being off the principal City Walls Road which in turn links with the A44 London Road leading east to Junction 7 of the M5 and west, over the River Severn, towards Malvern and Hereford.
Access Rights
The site is subject to access and service rights shown shaded yellow on the site plan for the benefit of The Granary, Unit 6a Lowesmoor (Hope Church), on the adjoining northern boundary. The rights are detailed in the Summary of Transfer Provisions provided in the dataroom. Further information in relation to this is available from the agents.
Opportunity & Method of Sale
The subject site extends to approximately 0.57 acres (0.23 hectares).
The site comprises a parcel of land currently used for car parking but which was previously the Hill and Evans Vinegar Works (now demolished). The opportunity exists for a developer to deliver the permitted scheme and thereby offer highly sought after modern apartments either for sale or on a private rented basis.
The site is to be sold via Private Treaty.
Planning
The site benefits from planning permission (P15D0510) for the erection of a six-storey block of 98 apartments with associated access, cycle, car parking, landscaping and associated works. Upon completion of the Section 106 Agreement, the planning permission was issued on 11th January 2018. A further planning application (P19D0005) for the variation of conditions 1, 6, 7, 9, 18, 22, 23, 28 and 29 and removal of condition 3 of planning application P15D0510 was granted at planning committee on 21st March 2019.
A non-material amendment (22/00169/VARCO) was also submitted in March 2022. This amended the list of approved drawings and the date by which construction must have commenced to 10th January 2024.
Shrub Hill Regeneration
Significant regeneration plans are intended to be implemented around Shrub Hill railway station in an initiative being lead by Worcestershire County Council, who own much of the land around the station, and Worcester City Council.
A significant aspect of the intended improvement of the area includes redevelopment and regeneration of the route between the station and the city centre (including the subject site) forging much improved pedestrian links between the two.
It is anticipated that further information associated with this will be available very soon with intentions to start implementing the vision as soon as possible.
