B2/B8 use with ancillary B1(a) — industrial and logistics permitted
Outline planning application submitted; no full consent yet
2 minutes from Junction 6 of the M53 — strong road access
Large waterfront plot with high development capacity
Local area: very deprived, ‘hampered aspiration’ and ‘constrained renters’
Very slow broadband; local skills pool and market demand limited
A substantial light industrial and development opportunity at North Road Business Park, offered freehold and available either as individual plots or as a single assembly of up to 500,000 sq ft (46,450 sq m). The Phoenix Building site is suitable for B2/B8 uses with ancillary B1(a) and comprises units ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 sq ft. Its location—approximately two minutes from J6 of the M53—gives strong road connectivity for logistics and manufacturing occupiers.
An outline planning application has been submitted, presenting potential for a tailored scheme subject to approval. The site’s riverfront setting and large plot scale support high-capacity industrial, warehousing, or distribution schemes. Freehold sale offers long-term control for an owner-occupier or investor/developer looking to deliver or hold industrial assets.
Buyers should note local market and infrastructure constraints: the wider area is classified as very deprived with local demographics described as ‘hampered aspiration’ and ‘constrained renters’. Broadband speeds are very slow and recorded local indicators (degree-educated population ~23.6%) suggest a limited local skills base. The advertised price field is shown as “1” in supplied details and should be confirmed; the outline planning status means consents are not yet granted.
This opportunity suits developers or institutional investors targeting large-scale industrial or logistics development close to the M53. It offers scale and freehold security, but requires careful assessment of planning, local market demand and infrastructure upgrades before commitment.
