A rare opportunity to acquire a significant Beach location within an EU approved shellfish growing area, ideally suited for Oyster Farming, for which it has full planning consent.It could easily be used for alternative purposes and has good transport links. The beach has previously been used for experimental farming of oysters and other shellfish and is a valuable asset that should continue to appreciate whilst being cash generative.
Expansion Potential
The size of the plot allows for large scale operations. Oyster stock takes an average of 3 years to mature, although part grown oysters can be husbanded to maturity in the same season to generate cash. Oysters typically retail for around 80 pence each or wholesale at 24 pence each which could easily generate upwards of GBP2,000,000 gross income per annum. The nature of the opportunity means that it can be managed locally or remotely.
