Lydney Freehold Development Land – Administration
Moorfields were appointed to manage a freehold development land opportunity in Lydney, extending to approximately 8.28 acres (3.35 ha).
The site benefits from existing planning consent for a supermarket and B1/B8 employment units, and is located adjacent to a large residential development scheme. The area is expected to see significant economic growth, particularly following the scrapping of the bridge toll, and the land has potential for residential or various alternative uses.
