Sale by informal tender to joint receivers; deadline 20 Nov 2025 at noon
This large freehold parcel on Ermine Way presents a clear development opportunity with an implemented consent for 39 dwellings across approximately 1.14 ha (2.82 acres). The site sits within an established urban fringe location with immediate housing context, good transport links (near Portway/M5) and excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity — features attractive to residential developers and investor partnerships.
The land is currently overgrown and bowl-shaped with undulating topography; a tarmac access road exists but is largely overgrown. The site’s history as a clay pit and former construction compound means potential purchasers should budget for contamination/ground remediation and consider engineering costs for sloping areas. The previous developer entered liquidation, and the scheme is being sold by joint receivers via an informal tender process.
Key commercial positives include implemented planning consent ready for build-out, freehold tenure, and substantial plot size suitable for medium-density redevelopment. Material considerations include the site’s location within a very deprived area and an above-average local crime rate, which may influence market pricing, affordable housing requirements and sales/rental values locally.
All offers must follow the prescribed tender format and be submitted by noon on Thursday 20th November 2025. The sale is by informal tender on behalf of joint fixed charge receivers; interested parties should carry out full due diligence on planning conditions, utilities, access, ground conditions and site remediation costs prior to tendering.
