A prominent waterside site in Bideford, which has planning permission for new homes, commercial space, a marina and car parking, has gone on the market.

East-the-Water Wharves is on the east side of the River Torridge on Barnstaple Street and is currently home to a car park and a number of temporary and historic buildings.

The 2.14 acre site already has planning permission for 52 homes and 8,213 sq ft of shops and restaurants and Torridge District Council is now marketing the site to developers who can transform it.

Mark Walter, Associate Director at JLL in Exeter, said, “The regeneration of this site is crucial for Bideford and has been identified as a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity to transform the appearance of the town centre. This waterfront site has huge potential and we are confident that we will attract developers who are able to take it on and create something really exciting for the town.”

The site has no Section 106 obligation or affordable housing and is allocated as a strategic regeneration priority.
