Summary - BOOT ROOM WHELDON ROAD CASTLEFORD WF10 2SD
1 bed 1 bath Land
Extensive industrial plot with strong transport links and allocation for commercial use.
31 acres (12.56 ha) freehold development land allocated for employment use
This 31-acre (12.56 ha) former colliery site is offered as a freehold development opportunity allocated for employment use. Positioned about one mile north-east of Castleford town centre and with good road links to J32 of the M62, the site provides a large, contiguous footprint suitable for industrial or logistics schemes requiring scale and direct access to regional transport networks.
The land is largely open grassland with trees and self-seeded scrub to the margins and a former haul road through the site. It is bordered by existing industrial uses, a sewage treatment works and the River Aire/Fryston Country Trail to the north. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports modern operational needs or on-site offices. The location’s planning allocation for employment is a key value driver for developers and occupiers focused on industrial, warehousing or freight-support uses.
Buyers should note the site’s industrial legacy: historic railway sidings, colliery infrastructure and infilled lagoons mean some ground remediation and site investigation will be required before development. The surrounding area shows higher-than-average crime and is within a very deprived ward, which may affect certain occupier types. Services connections, ground condition reports and abnormal cost allowances should be factored into viability assessments.
For investors and operators seeking a substantial, well‑located employment plot with direct links to the M62, this site offers scale and allocation certainty, balanced against likely remediation and infrastructure cost obligations. Due diligence and early engagement with planning and environmental specialists are recommended to quantify reclamation requirements and to optimise scheme delivery.
