A substantial development land parcel extending to approximately 44 acres (17.81 ha) on the north-west edge of Asfordby Hill. The site benefits from historic outline planning (09/00356/OUT with extension 12/00846/EXT) for some 35,080 sq m of B1(C), B2 and B8 employment floorspace and is specifically identified in the Asfordby Neighbourhood Plan (A22 Holwell Business Park) for mixed uses including Class E employment, Class F2 community uses and up to 100 dwellings. Access is from Welby Road and the site sits adjacent to existing commercial operations and local sports facilities.
This is a clear opportunity for builders, employment-led developers or investors seeking a large, long‑term brownfield redevelopment plot. Services and a bunded access route were contemplated by earlier consents; mobile signal and broadband are reported as excellent/fast and local primary schools have good to outstanding Ofsted outcomes, supporting residential components. The site’s scale and policy recognition are strong value drivers for phased mixed-use delivery.
Buyers should be realistic about costs and timescales. The land is currently scrubland and former industrial works; historic ironworks use and subsequent industrial activity mean remediation and abnormal development costs are possible and will require detailed site investigation. The extant permissions are outline only — detailed reserved‑matters submissions, updated technical reports and new consents will be necessary. Tenure details are unknown and should be clarified prior to exchange.
In short: a rare, large-scale allocation with planning pedigree and mixed-use potential, suited to a developer or investor prepared to fund surveys, remediation and a full planning programme.
