The Crown Estate and Defence Estates, advised by Chesterton Humberts, has sold the freehold interest in part of the Royal Clarence Yard, Weevil Lane, Gosport, Hampshire to a local property developer.

The 0.43 acre (0.174 hectare) site, a former Royal Engineers depot, currently houses a two-storey residential building and two single-storey workshops that have been vacant for a number of years. The purchaser plans to redevelop the site for residential and commercial use.

Craig Powell of Chesterton Humberts comments: “The former depot is located adjacent to the site currently being developed by Berkeley Homes as a major mixed-use development which is transforming the area. The sale of this site to a local developer will continue the regeneration of this historic former dockyard for occupation by local residents.”
