Description

PRICE ON APPLICATION. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a strategically located development site extending to approximately 21 acres (8.50 hectares) on Booth Lane (A533), Middlewich.

The site has been allocated for employment use and comprises two distinct development parcels, available either individually or as a whole.

Plot A: Approximately 7 acres (2.83 hectares)
Plot B: Approximately 14 acres (5.67 hectares)
Total Site Area: Approximately 21 acres (8.50 hectares)

The site presents an ideal opportunity for developers, investors, owner-occupiers, logistics operators, and industrial businesses seeking a well-connected location within one of Cheshire's most established employment and distribution corridors.

Location - The site occupies a prominent position fronting Booth Lane (A533), a key arterial route connecting Middlewich to the north and Sandbach to the south. The location benefits from excellent regional and national transport links, providing convenient access to the motorway network and surrounding commercial centres.

Middlewich town centre lies approximately 1.5 miles to the north, offering a wide range of local amenities, services and workforce availability. The nearby towns of Sandbach, Northwich, Winsford and Crewe further enhance the site's accessibility and labour catchment area.

Excellent Connectivity - The site enjoys outstanding access to the M6 motorway, making it particularly attractive for industrial, manufacturing, warehouse and logistics occupiers.

Approximately 4.5 miles south-west of Junction 18 of the M6 via the A54 and A533.
Approximately 4.5 miles north-west of Junction 17 of the M6 via the A534 and A533.
Direct frontage and access from the A533 Booth Lane.
Strategic location between both M6 junctions, providing flexibility for northbound and southbound distribution routes.

This highly accessible location places major commercial centres throughout the North West and Midlands within easy reach.

Established Employment And Logistics Location - The site adjoins Midpoint 18, one of Cheshire's most successful and established industrial and logistics destinations. Midpoint 18 is home to a number of national and international occupiers and has become a recognised distribution hub due to its proximity to the M6 and central UK location.

The neighbouring business park has attracted significant investment over recent years, reinforcing Middlewich's position as a key employment and logistics centre within the region.

Middlewich Eastern Bypass - The site's future connectivity is set to be significantly enhanced through the construction of the Middlewich Eastern Bypass, a major infrastructure project approved by Cheshire East Council.

Planning References: 18/5833C, 20/2064C and 20/2162C

The scheme will deliver:

A new two-way single carriageway road connecting Pochin Way in the north with Booth Lane (A533) to the south.
Approximately 1.6 miles (2.5 km) of new highway infrastructure.
Improved access to employment areas surrounding Midpoint 18.
Enhanced connectivity between Middlewich and the M6 motorway at Junction 18.
Reduced congestion through Middlewich town centre.
Increased attractiveness of the area for employment and commercial development.

Construction of the bypass is scheduled to commence in Spring 2026, with completion and opening to traffic anticipated in Spring 2028.

Upon completion, the bypass will provide a direct strategic route through the principal employment areas of Middlewich, further strengthening the site's appeal to developers, occupiers and investors.

Development Potential - The allocation of the site for employment use provides an excellent platform for a range of commercial development opportunities, subject to any necessary planning approvals and detailed design considerations.

Potential uses may include:

Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Distribution and logistics operations
Warehousing and storage
Trade counter accommodation
Business and employment premises
Ancillary commercial uses associated with employment development

The site's flexibility, scale and strategic location make it suitable for either a single comprehensive scheme or phased development across the two plots.
