A substantial brownfield parcel (Lot 3 ~0.56 acres) in Stanley Street, Workington, offers a clear redevelopment canvas for commercial or residential schemes. The site comprises hardstanding, grassland and scrub with direct access from Stanley Street and proximity to the Town Quay, local amenities and regional transport links to the Lake District and Sellafield.
Previous planning activity includes a demolition consent (2013) and an outline residential application withdrawn in 2023; full planning history can be provided on request. Key practical points: there is no identified flood risk, a telecoms mast stands on adjacent land, and services/connections have not been confirmed — purchasers must verify utilities and any retained rights.
The immediate area is mixed commercial and residential and is subject to significant local regeneration investment nearby, which may support future values but the wider neighbourhood faces high crime levels and marked deprivation. Tenure is unknown; interested parties should instruct legal and planning advisers and carry out site surveys before contract.
Offered at £500,000, the plot suits developers or investors prepared to manage planning risk, remediate a brownfield site, and factor in local socio-economic challenges when assessing scheme viability.
