An excellent opportunity to acquire an approximately 1-acre freehold site with established planning consent for use as a vehicle dismantling yard, located in the popular village of Glenfield, just outside Leicester.

Its strategic position provides excellent connectivity, being only a short drive from Junction 21A of the M1, with easy access to the M69, A46 and Leicester city centre.
Planning permission was granted under Application Reference 15/0740/FUL for the retention of the use of the land as a vehicle dismantling yard together with the retention of the office building, making this an ideal opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors or operators seeking a well-located industrial open storage site.
