This 0.892-hectare (2.21-acre) site off Hewell Road comprises three industrial buildings and a further structure that is open on one side. The broadly level site has two access points, extensive concrete hardstanding and secure perimeter fencing. A retaining wall and concrete slope are present towards the rear, and the site runs alongside the Birmingham Cross City Railway Line.
The buildings are described as steel-framed workshops with brick and block walls and profiled metal upper elevations and roofs. They require refurbishment and modernisation. The site was previously used as a vehicle scrap yard, with concrete hardstanding and drainage associated with that operation. The listing also records previous scrap metal dealer, waste carrier and end-of-life vehicle processing licences. Any future use, licensing and planning requirements would need to be checked.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £1.79m, the site is offered at about £150/sq ft against a local average of £292/sq ft, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity on a per-square-foot basis. The 2.21-acre, broadly flat site has three workshop buildings, extensive hardstanding, two entrances and perimeter fencing—useful existing infrastructure for someone looking to shape an industrial or commercial project, subject to condition, planning and regulatory checks.
The buildings and yard present a substantial improvement canvas: workshop floors and finishes are worn, staining is visible in places, and the hardstanding is cracked or weathered with weeds around the edges. This is a full-site works programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The overall score is nevertheless weak, with limited condition and economics scores; the low £/sq ft is a notable strength, but the available information does not establish renovation economics.
Key opportunities
- Rework the three workshop buildings, with open floor areas offering scope to modernise their layouts and finishes for a suitable future use.
- Make use of the extensive existing hardstanding, two entrances and perimeter fencing as a base for a site-wide operational or redevelopment concept, subject to planning and regulatory checks.
- Improve the yard and perimeter presentation, addressing cracked concrete and overgrown edges across the broadly flat 2.21-acre site.
Key risks
- Three workshop buildings and extensive hardstanding make this a substantial site-wide works and programme, not a cosmetic refresh; the scope and budget need establishing.
- The site’s former scrap-yard and vehicle-processing uses make condition, drainage, environmental and regulatory checks important before committing to a reuse plan.
