Location
The site is situated close to the extremely busy junction of the main A638 Halifax Road with Staincliffe Road in a mixed commercial and residential area. Immediately to the front of the property, adjacent the access, is a disused petrol filling station and to the east is the former Land Polymers main depot (which has ceased to operate and is available by way of separate negotiation).
Access to the site is off the A638 Halifax Road (adjacent the former PFS) and Halifax Road links Dewsbury town centre with Heckmondwike approximately 2 miles to the south east and north west respectively.
The site enjoys good access to the majority of main arterial routes serving the North Kirklees/Heavy Woollen district. The land is well located for access throughout the West Yorkshire conurbation being within a 5 mile radius of Junction 26 (Cleckheaton), Junction 27 (Birstall) and Junction 28 (Tingley) of the East West M62.
