Land for sale

Battle Road, Newton Abbot TQ12

Situation and description


Battle Road is the main estate spine road running through the Heathfield Industrial Estate with this site located fronting Battle Road on the corner of Cannon Road at the entrance to this popular Estate. Heathfield occupies a most convenient position adjacent to the A38 dual carriageway, linking Plymouth and Cornwall to Exeter and the M5 motorway. Excellent road communications are therefore possible, making it a favoured site for businesses covering the whole of Devon, and benefiting from its central and strategic location. Exeter is approximately 18 miles distant, with Plymouth 40 miles distant. Other local business centres are Newton Abbot some 5 miles and Torquay some 12 miles distant.

The site is level and securely fenced with a pair of entrance gates for vehicular access from Cannon Road. The surface is part hard core with kerbing, having previously used as an over flow car park, and park grass and landscaping. There are a number of large trees on the site which are protected by a blanket Tree Preservation Order, but we understand from our clients that some thinning and removal of these would be possible, subject to the necessary consents. The site is therefore suitable for a variety of potential users requiring secure storage for materials, vehicles, plant and equipment, scaffolding etc. Alternatively the site could be suitable for commercial development having had a consent in the past which has now expired, but this would be subject to the necessary consents.
