- Planning consent for Hotel & Restaurant/Conference (Use Classes A3, A4 & C1)
- Partly serviced with visible access roads and some infrastructure in progress

- Site largely cleared but areas unpaved and earthworks ongoing
- No flood risk; fast broadband and regional road/rail connectivity
- Area shows higher deprivation and average crime; consider market impact
This large freehold development plot at Shipley Lakeside offers a rare lakeside position with planning consent for Hotel & Restaurant/Conference (Use Classes A3, A4 & C1). The parcel sits within a wider 114-acre mixed-use redevelopment formerly an amusement park, with established water features and attractive countryside outlooks. Adjacent new-build housing demonstrates local demand and helps frame potential phased delivery.
The site is partly serviced with visible access roads and initial earthworks, reducing early-stage groundwork costs for a developer. Fast broadband, no flood risk, and regional connectivity to Derby and Nottingham add practical value for hotel or leisure-led schemes. The lakeside frontage and woodland setting are likely to command a premium for hospitality or residential-led plots.
Buyers should note material constraints: parts of the plot are unpaved and unkempt, with infrastructure works still in progress, so further investment will be required to complete roads, services and landscaping. The wider area records higher deprivation and average crime statistics, which may affect market positioning and rental or room rates. The site is suited to developers or operators prepared to deliver a mid-to-large scale leisure, retirement or mixed-use scheme.
Overall this is a strategic, flexible development opportunity for an experienced investor or housebuilder seeking lakeside, mixed-use potential within easy reach of regional centres. Planning consent in place for hotel and conference/food and drink use gives a clear route to market, but purchasers should budget for remaining site preparation and ongoing estate build-out.
