Freehold vacant land approximately 3.5 acres
A substantial freehold parcel of approximately 3.5 acres located at Lye Cross Road, Tividale, offered with planning currently in process. The site sits adjacent to established residential estates and benefits from multiple access points from a cul‑de‑sac and the main highway, with strong transport links nearby including Junction 2 of the M5 (approx. 1.7 miles).
The plot is large and level, presenting genuine development potential for residential or mixed‑use schemes subject to planning. Local amenities and employment hubs are within easy reach — Merry Hill Shopping, Russells Hall Hospital, Dudley and Birmingham centres — and mobile and broadband connectivity are reported as very good.
Important constraints are clear: the land is presently designated as public open space in the Sandwell UDP, so alternative use depends on local authority consent. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with above‑average crime, which may influence scheme type, build specification and end‑market. Prospective purchasers should carry out full due diligence with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and factor the neighbourhood profile into viability.
This opportunity suits experienced developers or specialist investors able to navigate planning risk and community considerations. For the right buyer the size and location offer scope for a meaningful residential scheme benefiting from proximity to schools (several rated Outstanding or Good) and strong transport connections.
