Large freehold site with residential potential (STTP) close to amenities.
Approximately 21.1 acres (8.54 ha) freehold development land
A rare, substantial freehold development parcel in Perry Barr extending to about 21.1 acres (8.54 ha). The site previously benefited from an extant-but-now-expired planning consent for up to 500 residential units, so strong potential exists for a residential-led scheme subject to obtaining new planning permission. Multiple vehicular and pedestrian access points and an urban fringe location next to recent and planned housing give practical delivery advantages.
The land sits beside community assets including Prince Albert High School, Doug Ellis Sports Centre and the One Stop Shopping Centre with ASDA, Costa and other retail. Good digital connectivity and no reported flood risk support large-scale residential or mixed-use proposals. The freehold is sold as seen; unconditional and conditional offers are invited for the whole site.
Notable constraints are material and must be factored into any acquisition decision. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived with a very high recorded crime rate — both factors that will influence planning negotiations, tenure mix and rental/value expectations. The planning consent has expired, so a buyer should allow time and budget for a fresh planning programme and consider infrastructure and community mitigation requirements.
Suitable for builders, housing associations or investor-developers looking for a strategic, large-scale urban site. The plot’s scale and location next to recent phases of residential development mean the site offers clear redevelopment upside, but delivery will require active planning, community engagement and appropriate site remediation or servicing works where necessary.
