Description

The site extends to 0.892 hectares (2.21 acres), running along the Birmingham Cross City Railway Line. The site is accessed via two entrances and is broadly flat across its length, although there is a retaining wall and concrete slope towards the back of the site.

The site has been extensively concreted and has previously been operating as a vehicle scrap yard under an end of life vehicle licence. The site benefits from secure perimeter fencing along all
sides of the premises. There are three separate industrial buildings on the site which are all of
typical modern workshop specification, having steel framed structures with brick and block
external walls and metal profiled upper elevations and roofing. The buildings are in need of
refurbishment/modernisation.

To the rear of the site there is an additional building which is open on one elevation.

The site previously held a Scrap Metal Dealer Site Licence, granted to Sims Group UK Limited (Sims Metal PLC) by the local authority for metal processing and vehicle salvage operations.
In addition, the operator was registered under the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 as a waste carrier, broker and dealer. It also operated under an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) processing
licence, with concrete hardstanding and drainage in place to meet regulatory requirements.
