This 62-acre freehold site at Paper Mill Lane, Bramford, combines approximately 12 acres of brownfield land (former fertiliser factory) with around 50 acres of greenfield parcels. Positioned just west of the A14 and close to Bramford village, the scale and location suit large-scale residential or mixed-use development subject to planning permission. The site’s size and proximity to local schools make it appealing to institutional developers and housing-led consortia.
Important practical considerations are clear and factual: the brownfield element was previously a fertiliser works and will require environmental assessment and likely remediation before sensitive end-uses. Remediation and infrastructure costs should be factored into feasibility studies. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, although mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is low.
There are tax-led benefits: the company connected to the site carries losses in excess of £15m, which may present tax relief opportunities for the right purchaser—seek specialist tax and legal advice to confirm applicability. Access is from Paper Mill Lane with the main site and additional parcels located north and west of the railway line.
Overall this is a strategic, large-scale development parcel for buyers able to manage remediation, secure planning consent, and invest in site infrastructure. It suits developers, institutional investors, or joint-venture partners focused on major countryside-edge schemes.
