A rare, sizeable freehold parcel positioned immediately south of the A8 at Red Smiddy Roundabout, this fairly level 7-acre (2.85 ha) site offers clear strategic value for an investor or commercial operator seeking proximity to established industry. Inchinnan Business Park sits around 500 metres to the east, and J29 of the M8 is readily accessible via Southbar Road — strong transport links for goods, staff and services.
The land is regular in shape (slightly triangulated), bounded mainly by hedgerow and agricultural fields, and benefits from no identified flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. These attributes make the site suitable for a range of uses subject to planning consent, from commercial/industrial expansion to other uses where Green Belt policy and the local development plan permit.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the site lies within the wider Green Belt and outside the defined settlement boundary, so development will be constrained by planning policy and likely require a material planning justification. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may influence grant or funding eligibility but also highlights local socio-economic challenges. Buyers should allow for planning costs and consultation before assuming deliverable development potential.
This listing suits a developer or investor able to take a planning-led approach or a business seeking expansion land near established industrial occupiers. The freehold title and strong transport links are core strengths; prospective purchasers should commission detailed due diligence on planning prospects, access, services and any ecological or archaeological constraints prior to offer.
