This is a large, vacant commercial plot within Greencroft Industrial Park offered with vacant possession. The land is allocated as employment land in the County Durham Plan (Policy 2) and is suitable in principle for B1, B2 and B8 uses, making it attractive to developers, occupiers and investors seeking industrial, storage or light manufacturing schemes.
The site benefits from road frontage and direct access from Greencroft Parkway, close to the A693 and within easy reach of the A1(M) junction 63. Major services are understood to be present at or near the site edge, and established neighbouring businesses and a tree belt provide clear site boundaries. The plot is currently grassed with some vegetation and requires survey work to confirm exact service connections and ground conditions.
Offers can be made conditional on planning consent or unconditional; purchasers are expected to engage the Local Planning Authority pre-application. Note there are purchaser costs to factor in: a Council surveyor fee (3% of the accepted price, minimum £18,000), reasonable legal fees and any open space notice costs if applicable. Prospective buyers should also allow for planning, infrastructure and potential remediation costs and carry out their own due diligence on utilities and site suitability.
The surrounding area shows higher crime rates and local deprivation indicators, which may affect certain end uses and occupier markets. This is primarily a pragmatic opportunity for developers or businesses who can capitalise on employment allocation, substantial land area and strategic road links, while managing planning and local-context risks.
