A substantial cleared development plot of approximately 4.74 acres (1.92 ha) in an established commercial corridor of Coventry, offered as a freehold brownfield opportunity. The site is secured, level and accessed from Sir Henry Parkes Road, with good road links to the A45 and M6 junctions, plus close proximity to Coventry city centre and Warwick University. It adjoins large industrial/warehouse units and sits beside a rail corridor, making it well suited to industrial, commercial or mixed-use redevelopment subject to planning.
Sui-generis planning consent was previously granted to the current owners (West Midlands Police) but not implemented; this indicates precedent for non-standard uses, though reinvestigation of planning options is recommended. The former gas works/gasholder buildings have been demolished and the site contains graded earth piles and areas of scrub; practical remediation and site clearance work will be required before construction.
Key practical considerations: the plot is bounded to the north by the railway, resulting in limited outlooks onto adjacent industrial uses. There may be legacy contamination given the site’s former gas works use — purchasers should commission appropriate site investigation and remediation costings. Tenure details should be confirmed; the site is offered as a freehold development opportunity.
This is a large, well-located urban infill parcel that will suit developers or operators seeking a secure, accessible site with clear redevelopment potential. Its size and transport links are attractive, but value will depend on planning strategy and the scope of remediation works.
