The installation of the electricity and water supply has enabled High Peak Borough

The site features a low-level post and wire fence along its boundary with the access road together with a large metal gate at its northern boundary to allow vehicular and pedestrian access.
The site is currently vacant and free from any form of use. Alternative planning will be considered for a variety of uses such as smaller industrial units, container storage facilities, land rental, etc. All enquiries to be made with HPBC.
