GatehouseWeighbridgePotential for water and rail freight movementSubstantial power supplyLightingSpecificationThe site comprises a former chemical works on approximately 22 acres together with a further 70 acres of land, or thereabouts. The buildings associated with the former chemical works have been demolished and the land is now a combination of hardstanding and hardcore. The site is fenced and gated, and there is a gatehouse with a weighbridge. The site is also partially lit. The former occupier utilised a power supply of 3MVA, and we understand that further power may be available. The site also benefits from a wharf on the Aire & Calder Navigation to allow water-borne freight movements from Goole and the Humber estuary.

The remaining land is Greenfield and may be suitable for development for a range of uses, subject to planning consent. Further details in respect of this can be provided upon request.

Immediately to the south of the site is the Leeds/Hull railway line. Our client has been advised that it may be possible to provide a dedicated siding to allow rail freight movements.PlanningThe former chemical works benefits from an existing employment use allocation in the Wakefield Unitary Development Plan. The Local Development Framework, which is currently being prepared, retains this allocation. Therefore, our client believes that the site is suitable for a range of employment uses including, offices, industrial, warehousing, waste recycling, power generation, open storage and aggregates, subject to obtaining any further required planning approvals.ViewingsFor further information please contact Rich Harris for viewings on 0113 2355249 or rich.harris@eu.jll.com
