A significant waste transfer facility located in south Birmingham, which was fully operational until recently, has been placed on the market for auction with a guide price set at £3 million. The site, situated at 24 Ebury Road in the Kings Norton area, spans an impressive 2.35 acres and currently retains an active waste transfer licence, making it a notable opportunity for potential buyers in the industrial or development sectors.
Prime Location and Infrastructure Details
The property boasts secure gated access from Tunnel Lane, enhancing its appeal for security-conscious operations. According to Tom Bromwich, managing partner of Bromwich Hardy, the site features a solid concrete base and includes an open, lean-to building equipped with solar panels on its northern side, which could contribute to energy efficiency for future occupants.
In addition to the main structures, the front of the site accommodates two temporary office buildings and dedicated car parking spaces, providing immediate functional amenities. The large open storage space offers versatility for various industrial uses, depending on the new owner's requirements.
Potential for Redevelopment and Strategic Access
Mr Bromwich highlighted that the site holds B1 and B2 planning consents, which typically allow for light industrial and general industrial uses, respectively. However, he also noted the potential for residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions, which could attract interest from property developers looking to capitalise on Birmingham's growing housing market.
The location of 24 Ebury Road is strategically advantageous, positioned approximately five miles south of Birmingham city centre and five miles north of Junction 2 of the M42 motorway. This proximity ensures excellent connectivity to major transport routes, including the M5, M6, and M40 motorways, facilitating easy access for logistics and commuting purposes.
This auction represents a significant moment in Birmingham's property landscape, as it offers a rare chance to acquire a licensed waste transfer site with potential for adaptive reuse. The sale could impact local waste management services and contribute to urban redevelopment efforts in the region.
