Stonesby Depot
Waltham Road,
Waltham on the Wolds,
Melton Mowbray LE14 4PR
Secure ring - fenced former mod fuel storage depot extending in all to circa
3. 58 hectares (8. 84 acres)
Melton Mowbray 5. 5 miles, Grantham 8. 5 miles, Oakham 10 miles
**The property**
Located 300m north of Waltham Road and accessed along a single concrete road
before secure double entrance gates to the site.
The depot is enclosed by a security
fence approximately 3m high. There is a network of tarmac roadways extending
to 0. 30ha, a range of buildings totalling 3, 300 sq ft and woodland comprising
0. 92ha. The balance is grassland, the majority of which covers the redundant
underground fuel storage facility.
**Planning**
The depot having been decommissioned in 1993, used for bulk storage and
delivery of refined hydrocarbon liquids was established by way of deemed
‘Hazardous Substances Consent’ under planning reference 06/01201/haz.
The grass has been licensed for grazing, and until 2020 the steel portal frame
building has been used for the storage of agricultural machinery: As such
there may be a case for permitted development to residential use under Class Q
of the General Development Order.
The brownfield site sits within designated ‘open countryside’ where the
planning policy is supportive of ‘necessary and appropriate development for
sustainable tourism, community facilities and farm diversification. ’
**Potential uses**
These could range from live/work for commercial, leisure or rural uses. Ideas
include a transport depot, testing station, general storage, rural service
business, camping ground or caravan storage.
To the north is a closed clay - capped landfill site. To the west is an sssi
owned by the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Restoration Trust.
**Proposed lease or sale**
The property is offered as a whole or in lots on
flexible lease terms by negotiation or for sale by private treaty.
**Overage**
The property is sold subject to a 10 - year overage at the rate of 30% on any
net uplift in development value on sale or grant of a lease of over 7 years.
**Access**
The site is accessed via a right of way off Waltham Road. This is for all
purposes but with a repair obligation on the Purchaser/Lessee.
**Rights of way**
There is a public footpath up the road and passing to the west of the site. A
recreational footpath route lies just outside the site on the northern
boundary.

being acquired.
