1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
High-profile site beside a restored industrial landmark ideal for mixed-use schemes.
c.3.145 acres of cleared development land ready for proposals
A rare development parcel surrounding the landmark Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, extending to c.3.145 acres with outline planning consent (ref 20/05065/OUT) active until 2031. The Main Mill has already been sympathetically restored and provides over 2,600m² of operational commercial space, including a museum, café and retail — a built-in community and footfall generator for any new residential scheme. Key infrastructure has been installed and the cleared site is ready for detailed proposals for residential and commercial mix; the number of units remains flexible under the outline consent.
This opportunity suits developers and investor-builders seeking a high-profile scheme adjacent to a heritage asset. There is scope for attractive landscaping, communal gardens and generous plot layouts that capitalise on the Mill’s character and the site’s scale. Flood risk is low and the urban location provides good access to local amenities, leisure facilities and a mix of nearby schools, including highly ranked independent options.
Material considerations are clear: the sale process intends to select a preferred purchaser by mid-2025 and favours a development-lease disposal structure rather than freehold. The local profile includes a Transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and constrained renters classification, while recorded local crime rates are high — factors that will affect marketing, tenure strategy and unit mix. Purchasers should allow for community engagement, detailed design approvals and costs associated with delivering a scheme compatible with the listed Mill and its setting.
