Rare open-space plot with strong road links and broadband for redevelopment potential.
3.5-acre freehold development parcel near residential estates
A substantial 3.5-acre freehold parcel positioned at Lye Cross Road, close to residential estates and main transport links. The site offers strong access from a residential cul-de-sac and the main highway, and lies about 1.7 miles from J2 of the M5, providing straightforward connectivity to Dudley, Merry Hill and Birmingham.
This plot is currently designated public open space in the Sandwell UDP and is noted as "now in process of planning" — meaning any alternative use or development will require formal consent from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. That planning status is the principal caveat: prospective buyers should make enquiries with the council and allow for the time and cost of securing permissions.
The location has clear development appeal: freehold ownership, large contiguous area suitable for a range of schemes, reliable utilities potential and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. Nearby amenities include shops, bus routes and several highly rated primary schools, which supports residential demand if planning approval is granted.
Buyers should also weigh local challenges. The wider area registers high deprivation and above-average crime statistics, which can affect scheme viability and funding terms. The site adjoins existing housing, so scheme design will need to consider local character, access, and community consultees. Due diligence on services, ground conditions and planning feasibility is recommended before committing.
