Vehicular and pedestrian access to the site is from Thorpe Lea Road at its southern boundary.
A Highways Search shows that the site’s southern boundary immediately abuts land designated as public highway. A copy of the Highways Search is available in the site’s information pack.
Immediately to the west of the site is a residential development site currently under construction by Cala Homes.
The Ordnance Survey extract plan shows the approximate boundaries of the site edged red.
Additional land to the east which is also owned by the vendor could potentially be used for open space or Biodiversity Net Gain purposes to support the development of the subject site.
The site is freehold. Full vacant possession of the site will be given on completion of the sale.
We understand that mains gas, electricity, drainage, water and broadband services are available for connection in the vicinity of the site. However, prospective purchasers are advised to make their own independent enquiries with the individual authorities to verify the capacity and availability of such services.
The site is not elected for VAT and therefore VAT will not be payable on the purchase price.
The site lies within an area identified for housing development in the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan under Policy SL7 which states that the site is expected to provide a minimum of 40 net additional C3 dwellings and 2 net additional serviced gypsy/traveller pitches.
A copy of Policy SL7 is available in the site’s information pack.

RU.23/0698) for “Full planning application for a residential development of 35 units (18 apartments and 17 dwellings) and no. 2 traveller pitches with associated landscaping and open space; new access and associated works to facilitate the development”.
The reports/surveys/drawings which accompanied the planning application belong to the applicant and cannot be assigned to the purchaser. Note that the applicant no longer has a legal interest in the site.
The site’s freehold interest is offered for sale by way of informal, non-binding tender with the vendor reserving the right not to accept the highest or any offer and also reserving the right to withdraw the site from sale or to vary the method of sale at any time without notice.
