This site is located in the heart of Gillingham town centre within 100 yards of the town’s train station and within easy
walking distance of a number of shops, supermarkets and Schools. As a consequence, the site and the subsequent
development proposal are extremely well located to take advantage of a whole range of facilities provided in the town.
These include a wide range of retail, professional and leisure outlets. Gillingham is an expanding and popular town in North Dorset with the main line railway link to London Waterloo being a particular benefit
This site extends to circa 0.7 acres and was formerly used
as a yard and buildings for a well known local company
dealing in the wholesaling of sand and gravels. There is a
Victorian 2 storey brick building which is to be converted
into a pair of dwellings and a modern industrial building that
is to be demolished and the whole site redeveloped. The
modern industrial building will be removed by the seller
prior to a sale being completed.
Full planning approval has been granted by Dorset Council
for a total of 17 dwellings ( including the two conversions )
together with some commercial space , under planning
reference P/FUL/2022/02964 dated 29 March 2023.The
proposed scheme of development comprises eight 3
bedroom town houses, five 2 bedroom houses, two 2
bedroom conversions and two duplex apartments. A
ground floor commercial space currently shown as two
units is also approved. As nutrient neutrality is not relevant
to the scheme, the development can proceed immediately
subject to various conditions being discharged. There are
no S 106 liabilities and no affordable housing required.
Community Infrastructure Levy is applicable
