A prominent 4.79-acre freehold development site in a high-profile gateway position one mile east of Derby city centre. The level site adjoins a modern Jaguar Land Rover dealership and benefits from direct visibility to the A52 Brian Clough Way, offering excellent access to the M1 via Junction 25.
The site already holds planning permission for car sales (sui generis) under ref: 21/00221/FUL and retains an employment allocation in the Derby Local Plan Part 1 (2017). Its size and location suit open storage, automotive-related uses or other commercial redevelopment subject to planning. Strong nearby occupiers include Motorpoint, National Tyres and Browns Builders Merchants, reinforcing the site's commercial context.
Material considerations are straightforward: the area is very deprived with above-average crime, and the site has a medium flooding risk. Prospective buyers should allow for due diligence on site remediation, security measures and any drainage or flood mitigation works. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are good, supporting modern commercial operations.
This asset will appeal to investors or operators seeking a large, visible plot with immediate automotive or storage potential, and to developers exploring alternative commercial uses where planning flexibility is achievable. All offers should reflect the site's opportunities and the practical costs of addressing location-specific constraints.
