Description

The land comprising Lot 6 extends to approximately 6.12 acres (2.48 hectares) and forms a single parcel of grassland. The parcel, which is accessed via a Right of Way over Lot 1 (shown hatched blue on the attached plan), benefits from good road access directly off the The Strand.

The gently undulating parcel of land provides an opportunity to acquire a parcel of amenity or pasture land on the edge of Ipswich. A public footpath runs north-south though the middle of Lot 6.

Location

Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk with a population of approximately 130,000 and a catchment area of over 250,000. It occupies a strategic position close to the International Container Port of Felixstowe and the interchange of the A12 and A14 trunk roads. The town is also served by a rail service to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of approximately 75 minutes.

This opportunity provides a portfolio of land and buildings sitting in close proximity to Ipswich and the newly upgraded Junction 56 of the A14/A137 interchange. The land offers extensive opportunities for alternative uses including Biodiversity Net Gain, Carbon Offsetting and Natural Capital opportunities, as well as more traditional commercial, amenity and agricultural uses.

Basic Payment Scheme, Countryside Stewardship and Woodland Grant Schemes

The land is registered with the Rural Payments Agency and the vendor has historically claimed under the Basic Payment Scheme. The vendor reserves the right to claim the 2023 claim and therefore the purchaser will be obligated to comply with the cross-compliant management requirements until the 31st December 2023.

The vendor has not entered into any Countryside Stewardship Scheme or Woodland Grant Scheme.
