Development opportunity

An opportunity to acquire 18.28 acres (7.4 ha) or thereabouts comprising a residential development opportunity, benefitting from an Extant Planning Permission situated on the southern fringe of Newport, Shropshire.

DESCRIPTION The site comprises undeveloped arable land lying to the north of the A518 Newport Bypass and east of existing residential properties. To the west of the site lies the village of Church Aston, which has over time coalesced with Newport itself. Audley Avenue Enterprise Park is located to the east of the site and Burton Borough School is located to the north. The land to the west of the site, which forms part of the wider Outline Planning Permission (Ref. TWC/2011/0871), has been sold separately and is being brought forward for residential development. The land immediately adjacent to the south of the A518 has planning consent for 25 acres of employment land under B1, B2 or B8 uses (application Ref. TWC/2019/0723). Known as Ni.Park, this will be particularly suited for agri-tech businesses, as the innovation park is being delivered in association with Harper Adams University.

PLANNING PERMISSION The site benefits from Outline Planning Consent granted on 2 nd March 2021 under Ref. TWC/2011/0871. The approval allows for the erection of up to 350 new build dwellings, extra care housing, 4.5 ha of employment land, public open space and landscaping provision including sports pitch and landscaped park, demolition of existing industrial buildings, highway works and associated infrastructure development. A full suite of documents that were submitted as part of the planning application, along with approved drawings, are available to download from the data room. The subject site and the land to the west has Extant Planning Permission for a residential and employment scheme. This has been followed by a pre-app for a 100% residential scheme on the land to the east of Station Road (the Site).
