A developer is being sought for a rare 9.3 acre seafront site in Exmouth after property consultants Jones Lang LaSalle put it up for sale.
The site, Queen's Drive, includes uninterrupted sea views across Lyme Bay, has outline planning consent for a new recreation and leisure zone. It is owned by East Devon District Council.

John Kinsey, director at Jones Lang LaSalle's Exeter office, said: "It is very rare that a seafront site of this size is brought to the market, especially in this area. Queen's Drive presents a fantastic opportunity to create an exciting, all-year-round attraction that will be focused on water sports and play for all ages.

"Its attractive seafront location has the potential to attract significant new investment from businesses that want to move there and visitors who come to enjoy what the area has to offer. We expect this prime development opportunity to generate significant interest."

The planning consent for the development includes an indoor play and recreation area, a water sports hub, open space, a hotel or holiday accommodation, cafes, restaurants and shops, and car parking. The existing road will also be moved away from the seafront to improve access to the beach and the attractiveness of the area.
