A rare freehold development parcel of about 2.273 hectares (5.63 acres) on Snitterfield Road, close to Stratford-upon-Avon. The site benefits from existing short-term income from varied commercial buildings and planning permission for c.25,000 sq ft of employment floorspace (Class E(g)iii/B8), plus outline consent for 24 residential units (including 8 affordable units).
The property offers immediate delivery potential for commercial occupiers or phased redevelopment to residential, with good vehicular access and generous parking and loading areas. Mature boundary tree belts and largely level ground help simplify layout and landscaping. Mains services are present and a substantial vendor pack (including S106, transport, drainage and ground reports) is available to support grant of consents and technical due diligence.
Material considerations are clear: most on-site buildings are older and let on short-term licences with no security of tenure, so income is not guaranteed. Broadband speeds are very slow and a completed Section 106 will affect obligations. Prospective purchasers should verify measured areas and review the planning conditions and S106 obligations before offer.
For developers or investors the site presents flexibility — keep the existing commercial income while progressing consented employment space, or pursue alternative residential schemes subject to agreement. The location—rural but within 4 miles of Stratford town centre and c.9 miles to the M40 (J15)—supports both local employment and market housing demand.
