Full planning permission has been granted to redevelop The Great Harry, a former public house in Belvedere, into a residential scheme comprising 30 private apartments.
Located on a 0.7-acre freehold site along Parsonage Manorway, the property is currently being marketed for £2.25 million. The existing two-storey detached building includes a basement, forecourt car park, and a small garden area in the south-east corner.
The redevelopment, approved under planning reference 22/03153/FULM, allows for the demolition of the current structure and construction of a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom self-contained flats. Plans also provide for car parking, cycle storage, refuse facilities, and landscaped outdoor spaces designed to enhance residential amenity.
The proposal, described as a “100% private residential scheme,” follows a four-year process involving planning submissions and appeals. No listed building, conservation area, or community asset restrictions apply to the site. The property is not on the register of Assets of Community Value and has no listed or locally listed structures nearby.
Currently designated under the Sui Generis use class, the former pub has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C. The listing notes there are no Section 106 planning obligations attached to the development, and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charge is still to be confirmed.
An option is also available to purchase the site through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which could provide potential stamp duty savings for buyers. The property is fully serviced, with access to water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications.
At present, the site is not subject to business rates, which the marketing information describes as offering “an additional holding cost benefit during the planning and pre-development phase.”
The approved residential scheme is designed to deliver “generous car and cycle parking provision” and “attractive landscaped outdoor amenity spaces,” according to the marketing details. The development is situated within a residential area that agents describe as having “strong demand” and “excellent market potential.”
Vehicular access is available from both Parsonage Manorway and Luddesdon Road, with the site positioned between Eastry Road and Luddesdon Road. The area benefits from good transport connections, with Barnehurst, Bexleyheath, and Belvedere railway stations all within approximately 0.9 miles.
No information has been released regarding demolition or construction timelines, and further details about the internal condition of the existing building or specific design elements of the new development have not been disclosed.
Interested parties are invited to contact the appointed land team for viewings or further information on costs. The listing includes a disclosure that the vendor is an employee of the selling agency.
Buyers will be required to provide proof of identification, funds, and solicitor details prior to completing any sale, in accordance with standard legal requirements.
