Commercial Development For Sale

Set in a truly stunning coastal position, this consented site offers a rare chance to deliver a landmark residential scheme of 27 exclusive luxury flats. Designed to maximise the breathtaking sea views, each apartment has been carefully considered to provide modern, high-quality living in a secure, private environment.

The approved scheme allows developers to create a premium residential community with no on-site affordable housing obligations, ensuring the project can be delivered without compromise on specification, finish, or design ambition. The result is an opportunity to establish a sought-after development that will appeal to discerning buyers seeking coastal living of the highest standard.


Opportunity

A rare residential development opportunity in St Leonards-on-Sea. This prime seafront location, extending to approximately 0.7 acres, offers expansive and uninterrupted sea views, providing a unique setting to create an extraordinary luxury scheme.

Detailed planning permission is in place (subject to the signing of the s106 agreement) for a premium residential development comprising 27 upscale apartments, including two exclusive penthouses. Thoughtfully designed to maximise the site’s exceptional coastal vistas, the development promises an unparalleled living environment that combines exclusivity, privacy, and quality.

Its highly sought-after location boasts excellent connectivity, with West St Leonards train station close by, as well as immediate access to beaches, leisure facilities, and a wide range of local amenities.

125 West Hill Road represents a rare chance to establish a landmark residential community with no affordable housing obligations, distinguished by its premier seafront position and capacity to deliver truly exceptional homes in one of the most attractive coastal locations in southeast England.

Location

The site occupies a prominent position on the south-east side of West Hill Road in the sought-after area of St Leonards-On-Sea, East Sussex. The location offers stunning sea views and provides convenient access to local amenities, including local shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.

It is close to major transport links, with good road access and nearby rail services from St Leonards Warrior Square Station into London just 0.5 miles away. The surrounding area consists of a mix of predominately residential properties, some commercial premises, as well as open green spaces and the easily accessible beach.

Planning

The site benefits from recent planning permission, granted in February 2025 (Ref: HS/FA/24/00710), subject to finalising the s106 agreement, for the development of 37 residential dwellings – 10 x 5-bed luxury semi-detached houses and 27 x 1 and 2-bed luxury apartments.
The seller intends to retain and develop the 10 houses directly, while the 27 luxury apartments (including two penthouses) are offered for sale as a consented development opportunity.
The consent includes:
  • A new access point onto West Hill Road.
  • Enhanced road frontage with new boundary walling.
  • Comprehensive landscaping.
  • Parking provisions.
  • Necessary earthworks and drainage.
This latest permission reflects modern development standards and follows on from an earlier consent (HS/DS/89/00804, granted in 1989 for 117 units) which remains valid. Importantly, the approved scheme carries no affordable housing obligations, with viability already accepted.
This provides developers with a ready-to-implement, high-quality residential scheme focused solely on 27 premium apartments in a landmark coastal setting.

Section 106 Agreement
All Section 106 costs have been paid for by the owner so there are no additional Section 106 costs for the incoming purchaser to pay.
