Feering Land to Rent

The subject site is known locally as Feering Triangle. The site is a section of land bounded to the north by London Road (B1024) and to the east by the A12 Trunk Road. The site has been used for a number of years as commercial land for a mixture of B1/B2/B8 hybrid functions in association with A12 repair and improvement works. The site extends to a total area of circa. 2.46-acre, benefiting from two established vehicular entrance/exit points directly from London Road/B1024. One is currently unused and secured by a bound. The site is part surfaced/hard standing with areas of soil. We calculate that the area with hard surfaced extends to approximately 1.6 acres with the remaining level soil surfaced with a mixture of shrubs and weed/self-seeded trees to its boundaries. The current occupier (Costain Limited) has utilised the site since 2019 for parking of cars/commercial vehicles, plant, generators, temporary office buildings/portacabins, portable toilet facilities, storage containers and solar panels providing electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Commercial Land in Colchester

Learn More
What is commercial land?
Commercial land refers to plots of land designated for business use. It may be used for open storage, parking, development, or industrial operations, depending on the planning permission and site infrastructure.
What types of commercial land are available to rent in Colchester?
You can find a range of commercial land including hardstanding yards, fenced compounds, development-ready sites, and land with temporary structures or utilities already installed.
What planning permission do I need to use commercial land?
Use depends on planning permission granted by the local council. Common classes include B2 (general industrial), B8 (storage/distribution), or sui generis (e.g. vehicle storage). Always check the permitted use before signing a lease.
Can I build on rented commercial land?
In most cases, permanent construction on leased land requires both landlord consent and planning permission. Some leases allow for temporary buildings, containers, or modular units depending on the site's terms.
What are typical uses for commercial land?
Typical uses include vehicle or plant storage, builder’s yards, scaffolding storage, logistics operations, event space, or development projects (subject to planning).
How is commercial land usually let?
Commercial land is typically let on leasehold terms, often for 1 to 10 years. Short-term lets, licences, and flexible arrangements may also be available for temporary or seasonal use.
Is the land usually serviced?
Some commercial land comes fully or partially serviced, with utilities such as water, electricity, and drainage. Others may be unserviced and more suitable for open storage or vehicle parking.
Are business rates payable on commercial land?
Yes, in most cases. If the land is rated for business use, you may be liable for business rates. The amount will depend on the site's rateable value, which you can check with the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
What should I check before renting commercial land?
Review access and road links, ground condition (e.g. hardstanding or soft), drainage, fencing/security, planning class, services available, lease restrictions, and whether the site floods or is contaminated.
How do I find commercial land to rent in Colchester?
Search on LoopNet, look for listings that match your intended use, and always confirm the planning permission and terms with the agent or landlord.
