Description
FOR SALE BY LIVE STREAM AUCTION ON TUESDAY 20TH OCTOBER 2026 AT 12PM
GUIDE PRICE £115,000+
A cleared, centrally located site in the heart of Leigh town centre, with a history of planning consent for a two-storey retail-led development.
A rare opportunity for developers, investors and owner-occupiers to acquire a prominent town centre plot.
The property comprises an open parcel of land on Bradshawgate, one of Leigh's principal retail and commercial thoroughfares. The site sits within an established parade of town centre occupiers and benefits from strong pedestrian footfall, nearby public transport links and neighbouring amenities.
The site has previously benefited from planning permission for a new two-storey retail development comprising five units, four Class A1 (retail) units and one Class A3 (restaurant/café) unit, together with a disabled toilet.
Planning History
A/05/63638 in 2005 - New two-storey retail development comprising 5 units (4No. Class A1 and 1No. Class A3) and disabled toilet - Approved with conditions
A/10/74299 in 2010 & 2013 - Application to extend the time limit of the above permission - Approved with conditions
Please note: the above permissions are historic and may have lapsed. Use Classes A1 and A3 have since been replaced by Class E under the Use Classes Order. Prospective purchasers must make their own enquiries with Wigan Council Planning Department to verify the current planning position and the viability of any scheme.
Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the site may suit retail, café/restaurant, commercial or other town centre uses, or a revised scheme that takes advantage of current Class E flexibility.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
