Summary - BRITISH NUCLEAR FUELS, CHAPELCROSS WORKS, U204A FROM C42A SOUTH OF PRESTONHALL TO C43A NORTH EAST OF JOINVILLE DG12 6RF
1 bed 1 bath Land
Massive freehold site with grid access and policy support — suited to energy, data or industrial reuse..
- Up to c.439 acres freehold brownfield land
One of the largest brownfield investment parcels in Scotland, Chapelcross offers an unusually large, freehold development opportunity of up to c.439 acres on a site already identified in national policy as suitable for energy and data uses. The land benefits from direct access to the National Grid, a nominated water pipeline to the Solway Firth/Irish Sea and excellent mobile connectivity — all strong infrastructure advantages for energy, data centre or industrial projects.
The site sits close to the M74 and A75 trunk routes and the Glasgow–London railway (freight capable), providing strong logistics links to Scotland, England and onward to Ireland and mainland Europe. Dumfries & Galloway Council designates the land for business, industrial and energy-related purposes and has signalled support for reuse of brownfield land; the owner is prepared to offer the site in whole or in phased parcels to suit project scale.
Important practical considerations: Chapelcross is a former nuclear power station in active decommissioning. Surrounding undeveloped plots are available sooner, but purchasers should allow for decommissioning, remediation and associated project timelines, consents and costs. Broadband speeds on site are currently very slow despite excellent mobile signal — connectivity upgrades may be needed for some uses.
This site will suit strategic investors, energy developers (including hydrogen projects), data-centre operators and large-scale industrial occupiers prepared to work with local and national partners on remediation, planning and phased delivery. The opportunity is large-scale, infrastructure-rich and policy-aligned — but requires experienced delivery teams and budget for decommissioning and site preparation.
