Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a very well located landfill site and buildings, located off Cow Lane to the north east of Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, close to the A14. Historically, the site was used for clay extraction and then as a brick works, but it is understood that the site has remained dormant for a number of years.
The site benefits from planning permission for the restoration of this former mineral extraction site through infilling with inert materials, ref: H/05001/08/CW, together with subsequent partial discharge of conditions. See Cambridgeshire County Council website and legal pack for full details.
Further, permit No. VP3792ET, granted the filling of this site with inert waste, with a total volume capacity of 225,500 cu.mtrs at rate of 54,000 tonnes per year. On completion, the site is to be restored to arable agricultural land use.
A gas supply pipeline is present below the existing site surface. Mitigation works have been completed to allow for filling to commence.
To the front of the site there are two disused former agricultural buildings. The front building is of single storey brick structure, beneath a part pitched tiled roof and part clad flat roof. The rear building comprises a five bay single storey brick structure under a pitched clad roof. There is a water balancing area to the rear left hand corner of the site, whilst there is high bunding/banking to the rear boundary.
