Property specialists are expecting considerable interest from developers following the listing of a significant undeveloped urban site.

The 4.54-acre parcel on Kingsham Road in Chichester is being handled by property advisory company Vail Williams, acting on behalf of the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner.

Adjacent to the city’s police headquarters, the land carries residential development permission under Chichester District Council’s current local plan.

The land is designated for approximately 70 homes.

Jake Collins, a surveyor at Vail Williams, described it as an exceptional chance to acquire a substantial undeveloped plot in a prosperous urban setting, noting that strong interest from developers is anticipated.

He explained that the property is being presented as one comprehensive development package, with preference given to an experienced lead developer able to deliver an integrated scheme.

The seller aims to complete either a conditional or unconditional deal, allowing the purchaser to take control of the planning, design and construction phases.

This arrangement gives developers maximum flexibility to optimise the site’s potential and bring forward a cohesive, high-quality scheme in a well-connected and sustainable location.

The site currently contains former police station structures, offices, workshops and open ground.

It has been deemed surplus to requirements for Chichester police station, which will not be impacted by the disposal.

The land carries permission for approximately 70 residential units.

It forms part of the broader Southern Gateway regeneration zone, intended to transform the southern approach to Chichester into a vibrant mixed-use district.

The regeneration plans include new housing, commercial space, enhanced public areas and improved links to the city centre, transport facilities and canal basin.

The freehold asking price is available from Vail Williams upon request.
