THE site of a former caravan business which went into administration in July is now on the market for £1.7million.

The former Broad Lane Leisure caravan business on the A435 Birmingham Road features a detached vacant freehold warehouse of 16,109 sq. ft. formerly used as a caravan showroom.

The 1.85-acre site is less than a mile northwest of Alcester and 2.5 miles south of Studley.

Administrators Ben Jones and Raj Mittal of FRP Advisory have instructed Watling Real Estate to sell the site which is now on the market for offers over £1.7 million.

Toby O’Sullivan, director of Watling Real Estate, said: “This is a prominent strategic roadside location on the key arterial A435 Birmingham Road.

“It has a large yard and a low site cover of approximately 15 per cent, and provides excellent asset management potential including extension and redevelopment, subject to planning.”

A planning application was submitted in June 2020 by Aldi Stores Ltd for the construction of a Class A1 food store with new vehicular access to the Birmingham Road. The planning application was withdrawn in 2022.
