Large freehold development plot opposite university campus, ideal for housing or student schemes.
- Freehold development plot of 2.36 acres with c.125m frontage
A substantial freehold development parcel extending to 2.36 acres with c.125m street frontage and existing buildings totalling about 78,000 sq ft. The rectangular site sits directly opposite the Victoria Mill university campus and the Weavers Triangle regeneration area, with Junction 10 of the M65 and Burnley town centre both around half a mile away.
The site currently contains a northlight mill, portal-frame warehouse, yard, car wash, brick former joinery works and an attractive Grade II listed stone building in the front corner. These retained structures and the large footprint create immediate options for refurbishment, phased redevelopment or demolition and rebuild, subject to planning and listed-building consents.
Key constraints are clear: the Grade II listed building will materially affect design options and programme; planning consent is required for alternate uses; and the wider area scores as very deprived with a very high recorded crime level. Utilities and good digital connectivity are present, and there is no identified flood risk, making the plot technically suitable for a range of schemes.
For developers or investors prepared to manage statutory consents and local socio-economic challenges, the site offers strong location-led upside — particularly for student accommodation, social housing, retail or campus-related expansion — driven by adjacency to the university campus and ongoing local regeneration.
