35-acre freehold industrial site with outline consent and direct M53 access.
Outline consent for circa 500,000 sq ft B1 B2 B8
A substantial 35-acre freehold site with outline planning consent for circa 500,000 sq ft of B1, B2 and B8 floorspace, offered either as a whole or in separate plots. The site sits between J6 and J7 of the M53, giving direct motorway access and easy road links to Liverpool and Manchester airports and Liverpool docks (circa 30 minutes). The park’s layout and multiple access points from North Road make it well suited to open storage, logistics, manufacturing or a multi-unit industrial development.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no flood risk and planning consent already in place, reducing early-stage planning uncertainty. The site naturally subdivides for phased delivery or sale of individual plots, which suits investors seeking immediate plot-level returns or an owner-occupier requiring a large consolidated yard and buildings.
Buyers should note material local constraints: the wider area is classified as very deprived with low higher-education attainment and constrained rental demand, and broadband speeds are very slow. These factors may affect workforce availability, office occupier appeal and some modern occupier requirements. Crime levels are average. The land suits occupiers and developers focused on industrial, storage or logistics use rather than office-led schemes.
In short, this is a strategic, large-scale industrial development opportunity with extant outline consent and excellent road connectivity. It will most appeal to developers, logistics operators and investors able to programme infrastructure and tenant recruitment tailored to the local market realities.
