Description
A rare freehold site of c3.7 acres net developable, suitable for a range of uses including small or mid box development, low density / bespoke development, or open storage (subject to detailed planning consent). This rear plot is on an industrial development site in an established trade and industrial area of Wakefield, Flanshaw Way. The area offers excellent links to the M1 motorway linking to Leeds in the North and Sheffield in the South. The site sits behind two further plots, which have already been developed.
Location
Flanshaw Way is an already well-established industrial area with a variety of businesses present. The site is just off the A368 which links to the M1 giving excellent access to Leeds to the north and Sheffield to the south. Leeds is approximately 12-miles away and Manchester 49. The nearest rail links can be found in the town centre and a range of amenities including a carvery, Holiday Inn and fast food takeaway can be found within five minutes' walk of the site. Halfords Auto Centre, ALS Environmental and SIRDAR holdings are amongst the wide range of businesses in the area.
Specifications
Mains gas, water, and foul drainage can be accessed from the access road or Flanshaw Way. There is a single private surface water connection provided which connects the subject site to the surface water culvert in Flanshaw Way. There are 2nr Foul Water connections provided, one to each bell mouth. Section 104 approval is in place for these. For surface water, it is assumed that the purchasers of the plot will provide storage and attenuation on site to ensure that discharge to the manhole is restricted to 10l/s. This is to ensure that storms up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (with 40% climate change allowance) are safely stored within the plot, without increasing flood risk to others. Based on anticipated low peak flow domestic usage, an unrestricted foul discharge has been assumed. No trade effluent has been allowed for. A new sub station is required for the subject site. Interested parties should satisfy themselves in this regard.
