A substantial undeveloped plot of approximately 1.62 acres (0.66 ha) sits prominently to Great North Way within the established York Business Park. The site benefits from a large road frontage, direct access to the A1237 outer ring road and proximity to existing commercial occupiers and on-site amenities, making it well-placed for mixed business, commercial or industrial redevelopment.
Outline planning consents for part of the wider park were granted and renewed historically (1996, 1999, 2002, 2005), indicating previous recognition of employment-led development potential. The plot is leasehold with a long lease remaining (999 years), and utilities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are available nearby — practical advantages for occupiers and operators.
The site is identified in the Upper and Nether Poppleton Neighbourhood Plan as Green Infrastructure and a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). That designation means any future scheme will need to address ecological constraints and likely require mitigation and demonstrable public or planning benefits; recent local decisions show development on SINC land can proceed where need and compensatory measures are proven.
Buyers should note material considerations: the land is undeveloped and will require a full planning application and site works; the area records above-average crime levels and the broader context mixes commercial and residential uses. Taken together, the plot represents a rare, large-scale development opportunity near York with clear access advantages and ecological planning challenges to resolve.
