A 600’ long Victorian pier with planning permission for development
The chance to purchase this civilian pier formally owned by the Marquess of Cornwallis is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of naval history. Built in 1894 as a landing stage for a ferry from Shotley to Harwich and Felixstowe, Bristol Pier is situated directly opposite the Bristol Arms public house and now has the benefit of Planning Permission (Babergh application no. B/13/00234/FUL/GD) for the repair and widening of the first 80’ together with the erection of 2 permanent ‘kiosk’ style buildings of approximately 320 sq ft with A1, A3 or A5 usage and linked by a stretched sail canopy over the central pier access, we understand interest has been shown in leasing these for a total of £15,000 per annum. The drawings and Planning Permission are available for viewing within the online Legal Pack.
Tenure
Freehold
The freehold on offer actually extends across the river bed to either side of the pier to a total of around 40’ and there is of course considerable potential (subject to any necessary consent) for alternative business or leisure uses such as a mooring facility or even as a private ‘escape’, it is quite simply an opportunity to express your imagination.
Location
The village of Shotley lies on the Stour Estuary some 9 miles to the south east of Ipswich and is set to expand considerably with the development of HMS Ganges where plans have been approved for 285 new homes, a hotel, nursing home, retail and commercial premises.
