Commercial DevelopmentArea
3563 sqftDescription
A freehold commercial development site of approximately 0.38 acres on Barry Road, with prominent frontage to the A4175. The site is offered with vacant possession and has planning permission for a single-storey Class E retail and café building of around 3,660 sq ft, arranged around a courtyard, with 27 customer parking spaces, landscaping and associated works.
The approved commercial scheme forms part of the wider former Chief Trading Post redevelopment. The listing cites planning references P21/05366/F and P23/01577/RVC, but purchasers should confirm that the permission was lawfully implemented and remains available to rely on. Alternative commercial, community or other uses would require the relevant consents.
The site sits among established and newer housing, close to a residential catchment and on a route linking Oldland Common, Longwell Green, Keynsham and east Bristol. The former restrictive covenant concerning certain grocery retailers was released by deed in February 2026. The guide price is £500,000 plus VAT. Site boundaries, access, easements, services, ground conditions and development obligations should be checked as part of due diligence.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a development-site opportunity rather than a house renovation: the vacant, road-fronting plot is visibly overgrown and holds stored materials and temporary containers, but the listing describes consent for a courtyard-style Class E scheme of about 3,660 sq ft with 27 parking spaces. The £500,000 asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making the acquisition price a clear strength. Planning, title and delivery feasibility still need careful verification, and the overall D reflects limited condition and project-economics evidence rather than a lack of potential.
Key opportunities
- Deliver the consented single-storey courtyard-style Class E retail/café scheme of about 3,660 sq ft, with 27 customer parking spaces and landscaping.
- Use the substantial A4175 frontage and surrounding residential catchment to shape a commercial offer suited to the location.
- Consider alternative commercial or community uses, subject to securing the necessary planning and other consents.
Key risks
- The overgrown site, stored materials and temporary containers make this a site-clearance and development programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and timings will depend on verified site conditions and delivery requirements.
- Verify the planning status, title and feasibility of implementing the approved scheme before committing.
