This substantial industrial land parcel extends to approximately 4.85 acres with a net developable area of about 4.2 acres fronting Acornfield Road on Knowsley Industrial Park. The site is largely flat but overgrown, with denser woodland to the northern boundary, presenting a clear canvas for redevelopment or long-term landholding. Excellent road links provide direct access to the A580 and quick connections to junction 4 of the M57 and junction 23 of the M6.
Outline planning consent for B1/B2/B8 was previously granted but expired in October 2015. That prior consent confirms the site’s suitability for industrial, warehouse or light‑manufacturing uses, though any buyer should expect to reapply for detailed or renewed planning now. The plot is offered leasehold with around 987 years remaining on the lease — effectively a long-term interest but not freehold ownership.
Practical considerations include the site’s current condition (overgrown scrubland and pockets of mature trees), which will require clearance and basic groundworks prior to construction. The location sits within an area of high crime and very high deprivation, and local broadband speeds are slow; these factors may affect some occupier types and should be considered in feasibility and lettability studies.
For investors or developers targeting industrial accommodation in an established logistics corridor, the site provides scale, frontage to a principal estate road and strong trunk road access. Budget for remediation, site clearance, and a fresh planning application, and factor in local market and socio-economic challenges when modelling returns.
