TENANCY INFORMATION
PLANNING POLICY
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Northfield Drive is within the jurisdiction of Milton Keynes Council and the car showroom is of a Sui Generis use. The Milton Keynes Proposals Map designates this site as ‘employment land’ and the Local Plan seeks to protect employment uses within such areas.
Northfield Drive is an established commercial district with a mix of uses. The park benefits from the proposed Morris Homes housing development to the south of the estate and the development of c.255,000 sq ft of industrial space to the south west.
Due to the strategic location and high prominence of the unit, the site lends itself to a range of alternative uses with future potential to redevelop the site, subject to the appropriate planning consents. These include the conversion / redevelopment to a restaurant, or to be split into a coffee and food outlet, self storage, or redevelopment as a trade counter scheme. The vendor has previously been approached by a drive through coffee operator.
Prime car showroom rental tones in Milton Keynes are currently established at £15.00 to £17.00 psf. Drive through/drive to restaurants are established at a significant premium to the current rental level with recent deals done between £39.00 to £45.00 psf whilst roadside coffee pods have achieved £50.00 psf for typical 1,800 sq ft to 2,200 sq ft units.
