This 0.71-hectare brownfield site at Greenway Lane offers a rare central-Fakenham development opportunity within the adopted F05 housing allocation. The parcel currently contains long-standing Johnson Bros dealership buildings — workshops, showroom, forecourt and ancillary storage — and benefits from direct access to Greenway Lane with good links to the A148.
The land is broadly level and sits among recent housing schemes and established local infrastructure, making it straightforward to integrate with surrounding residential development. The site has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; flood risk is recorded as none. Nearby amenities include supermarkets, healthcare services and primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted.
The existing commercial business is scheduled to cease trading in June 2025 following the director’s retirement, allowing vacant possession for redevelopment. The site is brownfield and was used for agricultural machinery sales and servicing; no specific contamination or remediation details are provided in the sales information, so buyers should commission their own ground and environmental surveys.
Prospective purchasers should note tenure is unspecified and planning is limited to the F05 allocation — full planning permission is not confirmed. The area scores as relatively deprived and sits on the small-town fringe, which may influence market positioning and affordable housing obligations. This is best suited to developers or investors familiar with allocated sites and brownfield redevelopment.
