Summary - Desford Lane, Peckleton, LE9 LE9 9JU
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large freehold parcel beside major logistics site, ideal for patient commercial investors.
Approximately 17.92 acres of Grade 2 arable land
An unusually large freehold parcel of arable land extending to approximately 17.92 acres on Desford Lane, Peckleton. Positioned immediately adjacent to the Griffen Park commercial/logistics development, the site offers clear strategic potential for long-term commercial expansion subject to planning. Strong road connectivity — around 8 miles to Leicester, M1 J21 and M69 J3 — makes the location attractive to occupiers serving the Midlands distribution network.
The land is Grade 2 agricultural with loamy clay soils and currently in arable use. It is offered with vacant possession available from 29 September 2026 (earlier by agreement), and sporting and mineral rights are included where owned. There are no mains services on site, so buyers should budget for connecting utilities and associated site works if pursuing non-agricultural uses.
There is no planning permission on the plot itself and the site has not been allocated in the 2022 draft Local Plan. Surrounding land appears in the 2020 SHELAA (site LPR24) as potentially suitable for significant B8 development, which underlines the plot’s long-term potential. Buyers should be aware an overage clause applies: 30% of any value uplift from a change of use or planning permission for 30 years, excluding agricultural, equestrian or forestry uses.
This is a clear strategic land play: attractive to investors or developers prepared to follow the local plan process and absorb servicing and planning risk. For an agricultural buyer the plot is productive and well enclosed; for a commercial developer the proximity to an existing logistics hub offers a logical extension opportunity, but timing and policy risk remain material factors.
