A broadly square, flat freehold plot of approximately 1.2 acres (0.49 ha) in New Houstoun Industrial Estate, presented as a serviced site ready for development. The land sits immediately adjacent to Livingston Trade Park and benefits from easy access to Junction 3 of the M8 (0.5 miles), putting Edinburgh at about 15 miles and Glasgow about 33 miles — strong logistics links for distribution or light industrial occupiers.
The site is suitable for Class 4, 5 and 6 uses (general business, storage and distribution) and is already bordered by industrial units and metal fencing, which reduces immediate site security work. Mobile signal is excellent and the plot is noted as serviced, which can accelerate build-out. On-site parking/garage capacity is possible given the broadly square, flat configuration and very large plot size.
Key practical considerations are straightforward: the area is an established industrial estate in a socio-economically challenged locality (classified as very deprived), and the immediate surroundings are industrial rather than customer-facing retail or amenity-led. Planning consent will be required for new construction; purchasers should verify all statutory approvals, utility specifics and any local covenants or restrictions. Broadband speeds are average.
This plot suits developers, logistics operators and investors seeking a ready development site with strong motorway connectivity and immediate adjacency to trade park infrastructure. It offers clear scope for a bespoke warehouse, storage yard or multi-unit industrial scheme where occupier demand targets B-class industrial uses.
