Strategic industrial plot with strong motorway links for commercial developers.
Freehold development site of circa 3.7 acres net developable
Excellent M1 links; Leeds ~12 miles, good regional connectivity
Mains gas, water and foul connections available on access road
Section 104 approval in place for two foul connections
Surface water attenuation required; discharge restricted to 10 l/s
New electrical substation will be required (buyer responsibility)
Rear plot position, behind two already developed plots
Subject to detailed planning consent for intended use
This rare freehold development site extends to approximately 3.7 acres (net developable) within the established Park 40 industrial area on Flanshaw Way, Wakefield. The plot is suitable for a range of commercial uses including small to mid-box warehouse, bespoke industrial units or open storage, subject to detailed planning consent. Its rear position, behind already developed plots, offers a degree of seclusion within a functioning business park environment.
Connectivity is a key strength: immediate access to the A638/A638 link roads and proximity to the M1 provides straightforward routes to Leeds (circa 12 miles) and Sheffield. On-site service connections are available for mains gas, water and foul drainage, and two foul water bell-mouths with Section 104 approval are in place, reducing initial infrastructure lead times for purchasers.
Practical considerations and constraints are clearly set out. A new electrical substation will be required for the site. Surface water discharge is limited and purchasers must provide on-site storage/attenuation to restrict outflows to 10 l/s (design to 1-in-100 year plus 40% climate change allowance). No allowance has been made for trade effluent; purchasers should confirm drainage and utilities capacity for specific operations.
This site will suit businesses seeking a sizable freehold plot with strong motorway links and existing utility provision, while being prepared to manage planning requirements, on-site drainage design and a new substation installation. The surrounding area contains a range of industrial and commercial occupiers and a small cluster of local amenities within walking distance.
