Large plot of undeveloped land in commercial area of Shrewsbury listed for sale - suitable for developers

Shropshire residents have been presented with a rare opportunity to acquire the site that is approximately two acres in size and described as "one of the last undeveloped sites in the Battlefield commercial area".

The plot on Harlescott Lane has been listed for £999,000 with Berrys Commercial. The listing states that the site is located "within the Battlefield industrial area of Shrewsbury, adjacent to Tesco Extra".

The listing adds that the land is "suitable for a variety of uses" - subject to planning permission being granted - and "of interest to investors, developers and owner occupiers".

Full planning permission was granted in 2017 for the erection of one block of 14 industrial/commercial units, however, this has now expired. 

The listing states: "This site provides a rare opportunity to purchase one of the last undeveloped plots of land in Battlefield. It comprises a regular area of approximately 2.0 acres with a secure, gated, primarily hard standing yard and is accessed via a new recently completed access off Harlescott Lane. 

"There is a phone mast on the property, which is let to Vodafone, providing an annual income of £2,500."

The site has also undergone substantial ground works, according to the listing, and benefits from the installation of a full drainage system that is connected to the mains sewer. 

The listing adds: "Planning permission was also granted March 2023 (Planning Reference: 23/00251/FUL) for a new access across the neighbouring property, which has recently been completed. This allows access from Harlescott Lane. 

"A long-term lease has been agreed with the owner of the adjoining property allowing a right of way to the benefit of the prospective purchaser. Purchasers should rely on their own investigations with the local planning authority."
