Our commercial agency transactional team have recently completed the sale of a brownfield site in Bromborough which will make way for 115 new homes. The site was a former Land and Marine depot, an 8.65-acre site which held 30,400 sq ft of derelict and vacant industrial buildings off Dock Road. The sale, on behalf of a private landowner to Lovell Partnerships, followed an exhaustive marketing campaign.
Our team supported the planning process by providing an employment market report to demonstrate the land was no longer suitable for employment use.
Planning permission was achieved for 115 properties, including 42 affordable homes that will be a mix of terraced, semi-detached, and detached properties ranging from two to four bedrooms and work is now underway.
Partner, David Newman, said: “We’re extremely pleased to complete the sale of this former specialist engineering site to Lovell Partnerships.
“We acted on behalf of our long-standing landowner client, who we have worked with both when the site was in operation and following its closure and is very satisfied with the conclusion of the sale.
“The site is well-suited for residential use, and being brownfield means it aligns with Wirral Council’s objective to avoid development on greenbelt land.
“The site will now provide much-needed new homes in Bromborough, including 42 which will be affordable, and it is fantastic to see that ground works have already begun.”
