Two substantial freehold development plots sit fronting Welshpool Road in Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, offering wide frontage and clear boundaries. Plot 2 (approx. 1.36 acres / 0.55 ha) has been formally identified in a pre-application as suitable for residential development; Plot 3 (approx. 1.54 acres / 0.62 ha) has been identified as suitable for retail/drive-thru development. Both plots were also noted as having potential for alternative commercial, leisure, retirement or care uses, subject to statutory consents.
The sites benefit from vacant possession, main services understood to be available (prospective purchasers must verify connections) and immediate proximity to an area of recent and proposed retail development, including an adjacent proposed Lidl store. Good road links are provided by nearby access to the A5 dual carriageway and local neighbourhood amenities and schools, with fast broadband reported and average local crime and deprivation levels.
Important considerations: neither plot has planning permission in place — only formal pre-application advice has been obtained — so any development will require full statutory consents. Purchasers should carry out their own due diligence on planning, services, contamination, access improvements and build costs. The land is greenfield and will need preparation works and potential infrastructure connections before construction.
This opportunity will suit developers, investors or operators seeking a sizeable, well-located site in a suburban edge location with flexible end-use potential (residential, retail, care/retirement, or leisure) subject to planning. Offers should reflect the requirement for consenting, site preparation and service connections.
