Cooks Lane/Waterloo Avenue, Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham, B37

The site comprises a brownfield site which is relatively level and rectangular in shape.

The site sits on a corner plot, fronting Cooks Lane to the north and Waterloo Avenue to the east. There are two points of access to the site directly from Waterloo Avenue.

The site formerly comprises Bacon's End day centre which has subsequently been demolished to a standard suitable for development and the site is currently fenced and secured to all boundaries with some vegetation on site.

The area surrounding the site is mixed use in nature, with a residential apartment building located to the west, light industrial units to the east and south, and to the north, on the other side of Cooks Lane, Kingshurst Pavilions
Sports Club. We therefore think the site could be suitable for residential or commercial uses.

This site does not have any current or pending planning applications, however, is not located in the greenbelt and
appears to be relatively unconstrained from a planning perspective.

Given the location, size and shape of the site it is considered that it may be suitable for a variety of different uses, subject to planning and all other necessary consents.

Due to its high visibility to Cooks Lane, it could be a good opportunity for roadside retail or electrical vehicle charging points, alternatively its close proximity to residential areas means that it could suit a small residential development. In addition, given the surrounding uses, light industrial or trade counter uses could also be suitable.
Given that the site does not fall within the greenbelt, it would not require any demonstration of VSC for planning and
development.

Prospective purchasers are recommended to make their own enquiries to the local planning authority
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Planning Department;

The site is being sold via informal tender. Purchasers are to submit their offer no later than 12pm on Wednesday

The vendor's strong preference is for unconditional offers, however, those offers proposing a delayed completion,
following an unconditional exchange of contracts may be considered (subject to an absolute Long Stop date of 6th
March 2026).
