Development Opportunity - Former Governors residence with significant potential.
The Site: Holly Grange measures approx. 2 acres (0.8 ha) and consists of a single residential property which was the formerly used as the Camp Hill Prison governor’s residence. The existing property has been unoccupied for several years and in a derelict condition, possibly beyond repair. The grounds are densely covered by semi-mature trees and thick vegetation.
The property is accessed via Postern Road which is an adopted highway and is the last property along the road.
Development Potential: The site is situated on the edge Primary settlement boundary under the jurisdiction of Isle of Wight Council. There are private residential dwellings to the South and East following back along Postern Road and the prison boundary directly to the North. The site and is not in a conservation area or inside a flood zone. It is therefore considered that a residential development for new build dwellings would be favourable or perhaps a Residential Care Home, subject to planning permission.
Furthermore, the adjoining property has recently been redeveloped into six semi-detached houses on a much smaller site area.
We are advised none of the existing trees across the site are protected by Tree Preservation Orders and services are available, however, we advise interested parties are satisfied by making their own enquires.
Local authority Designation: The property falls within the administrative boundary of Isle of Wight Council https://www.iow.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/planning/
Locality: The site is nestled in Parkhurst Forest, located approximately 1.8 miles to the North of Newport Town Centre, with Newport being the ‘capital’ town of the Isle of Wight.
