THE LAND
The site is a long parcel of land running north from Watling Street (B5404), between the rear gardens of the houses on Highcliffe Road and the railway line. It is currently wooded. The land is registered with Title Absolute under title number SF539457 and extends to approximately 8,041.76 sq m (subject to measured survey).
No recent planning applications are recorded, so a buyer can shape their own scheme. Because the land is not in the Green Belt, one of the main planning constraints does not apply. Any development will need planning permission from Tamworth Borough Council. Buyers should check the access, the site's position next to the railway and any tree constraints before bidding.

Two Gates is an established residential area on the southern side of Tamworth. The site is off Watling Street, opposite 410 Watling Street, and within easy reach of the A5 and Junction 10 of the M42, which link to Birmingham, the M6 and the wider Midlands motorway network.
Tamworth station has direct trains to Birmingham New Street and London Euston, and Birmingham Airport is within a short drive. Schools, shops and Ventura Retail Park are close by.
TITLE AND RIGHTS
The land is sold subject to existing rights and covenants. These include a requirement for the written consent of London & Continental Railways before any disposition, and covenants under a 1979 Deed of Grant and a 1996 Agreement. Mines and minerals are excepted from the title. Full details are in the legal pack.
VIEWING
The land can be viewed on foot at any reasonable time during daylight hours, with no appointment needed. Viewing is entirely at your own risk. The site is next to a live railway line, so please take care and stay within the site boundary.
