A substantial development opportunity of approximately nine acres within Fox Cover Industrial Estate, offered with outline planning consent for industrial use. The site sits just off the A19, providing strong road links for logistics, manufacturing or owner-occupier industrial schemes. Surrounding occupiers include established logistics and waste management firms, reinforcing the estate’s employment focus.
The parcel is largely greenfield with varying ground levels (areas of “fill to +65” and “cut to +65”), and significant retaining walls shown on plans. These topographical features create clear development platforms but will require engineered earthworks and associated costs; detailed groundworks and final consent are needed before construction.
Material negatives are set out plainly: the site lies in an area of social and economic deprivation with above-average crime statistics; broadband speeds are very slow; tenure is not specified; and the current permission is outline rather than full planning. These factors should be factored into viability and funding assessments.
For developers or investors seeking a large industrial plot with immediate estate context and A19 connectivity, the site offers scale and strategic location. Its value drivers are size, planning direction, and neighbouring industrial occupiers; its constraints are infrastructure, groundworks, local socio-economic conditions, and the need to secure detailed consent and services.
