About this property

Detailed Description

The property comprises a range of secure agricultural and storage buildings extending to approximately 1,908 sq m (20,538 sq ft) being the Gross External Area (GEA). Offering flexible accommodation, the buildings are capable of supporting a variety of occupier requirements, including agricultural storage, machinery housing, warehousing and distribution operations, together with other commercial uses subject to any necessary consents.

Access is gained via a secure gated entrance, with the site further benefiting from extensive concrete yard areas and ample on-site parking. These external areas provide excellent space for vehicle manoeuvring, loading and unloading activities, plant storage and staff parking. The generous extend of the yard space also provides flexibility for occupiers, including the potential to accommodate portable office units, should additional office or welfare facilities be required.

The buildings are currently in agricultural use. However, on 2 August 2024 full planning permission was granted for the change of use of the buildings to Class B (Storage and Distribution). Whilst this permission has not yet been implemented, it remains capable of implementation within the statutory period set out in the decision notice.

Further details of the planning application can be found on Breckland District Council's planning portal under the reference 3PL/2023/0819/F.
