Gentian owns two sites at Buckmore Park in Petersfield in joint venture with Sunnyday Capital, a well established London property company.
A 16 acre site to the north of Buckmore Farm has planning consent for 85 dwellings subject to S106 obligations, this residential land is under offer and expected to be sold shortly.
We have Reserved Matters Approval for a 4,730sqm (50,000sqft) urban logistics park in the southern portion of this site. Set across 5 buildings with unit sizes ranging from 260 to 1,990sqm with 4m loading doors and 10m eave heights, the scheme will achieve a BREEAM excellent rating and will allow tenants to maximise solar power generation. Given the sensitive location within the South Downs National Park, the scheme will provide significant landscaping throughout the site. A landscape inspired sustainable drainage system feature will provide a significant biodiversity improvement opportunity and a green roof and 200m of new hedgerow planting will also help improve the green infrastructure across the site.
Our other site is 4 acres adjacent to the A3 services south of Buckmore Farm. Planning has been obtained for a mixed use development, part of the site has been sold to a classic cars storage company and we will be bringing forward the remainder of the site during 2023.
