This location was originally intended for the relocation of a private residential boarding school from Wantage Town Centre. The development did not take place. Planning consent was granted however, for 122,000 sq ft (GIA) of new build development on the subject property together with the existing house adjoining.
LOCATION
The site is situated between Wantage and East Challow and is 16.8 miles to the southwest of Oxford. The A338 provides good access north to Oxford and south to the M4 (J14). The A417 allows access east to the A34 trunk road and west to Faringdon and Swindon. Didcot Parkway rail station, approximately 11 miles away provides a mainline connection into London Paddington(fastest train 35 minutes).
DESCRIPTION
The site has a prominent frontage to the A417 (Challow Road) to the south. Running to a total area of 34.9 acres (14.13 ha) of land of which approximately 5 acres (2 hectares) comprise the core of the built area within the new planning consent. The existing buildings on the site comprise Challow Park House and ancillary buildings together with a modern agricultural building.
PLANNING
The site along, with the adjoining property, benefits from outline planning permission for the ‘conversion of Challow Park House and erection of new school buildings including staff and pupils accommodation, classrooms, hall, playing fields, pitches and recreational facilities’. An application for reserved matters was also granted and copies of these permissions and associated plans are available upon request. The use class for the development is C2 and our client’s planning consultants advise us that an application for a C2 use is likely to be successful whether or not it includes the neighbouring Challow Park House. Challow Park House may be available by separate negotiation.
TENURE
