Location

The Horkesley Park site extends to 47.4 hectares (117 acres) and is located in the parish of Great Horkesley within the Borough of Colchester in Essex near the Suffolk border. It is immediately north of London Road and immediately west of the A134.

Horkesley Park is easy and convenient to get to and from, with its vehicle and pedestrian entrances off London Road a few hundred metres from the A134 and just 2½ miles (4km) north of Colchester town outskirts bordering the A12.

Ideally situated near to Colchester just off the A134, Horkesley Park is located on Bunting & Sons’ redundant tomato glasshouse nursery and industrial type buildings, the adjacent farm and parkland.

The make-up of and proposed changes to the Horkesley Park site are as follows:

The application site area is made up of the following:	Area (ha)	Area (acres)	% of Total Site Area	Proposed Changes
The Chantry	2.14 ha	5.30 acres	4.51%	Change of Use
Hillside and The Chantry Lodge	0.18 ha	0.44 acres	0.38%	No Change
The Park and Farmland	40.89 ha	101.04 acres	86.25%	Change of Use
The Nursery Site	2.20 ha	10.38 acres	8.86%	Redevelopment
Total Site Area	47.41 ha	117.16 acres	100.00%	.

Two areas of farmland, amounting to approximately 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres), which form part of the Horkesley Park Site run alongside the A134 and London Road. These will be used for road improvements and widening as well as for the creation of green with pedestrian and cycle pathways.
