This boatyard sits between two relatively modern residential developments, which have both been created from similar former boatyard sites in recent years. This site, which measures 0.06Ha/0.16 acre has consent for a pair of townhouses to the front of the plot, with the rear half and moorings unencumbered by the planning consent. It is considered that the reminder of the Freehold land on the river side of the plot, has scope and potential for further residential re-development if required, or for continued use to support river-based business use. The moorings, hatched blue in the identification plan attached to the details, are held under the terms of a rolling, annual, non-transferable licence, from Crown Estates. We are advised the licence is not transferable. Prospective purchasers will need to enter into their own discussions and negotiations with Crown Estates, should they wish to continue to moor boats on site.
Planning Planning Permission has been granted by Southampton City Council under ref: 25/00669/FUL, dated 17th November 2025, for redevelopment of site and erection of two three-storey four-bedroom semi-detached dwellings, subject to conditions.
A copy of the Planning Permission and accompanying documents may be downloaded from the Local Planning Authority website: southampton.gov.uk. Tel: 023 8083 3006.
Tenancies The moorings are at present let under various informal agreements, copies of which will be available in the legal documents, however, with the moorings held, as disclosed above under the terms of a rolling, annual, non-transferable licence, from Crown Estates, prospective purchasers are advised that any existing agreements for mooring are very likely to fall away on completion of any purchase.
Tenure Freehold and a licence agreement. The land element of the site is freehold, while the moorings are held under the terms of a rolling, annual, non-transferable licence, from Crown Estates.
