The subjects comprise 2 connected parcels of farmland that lie within a larger land holding contained by Edinburgh Road to the north, Biggar Road to the west and A73/B7066 to the east.
The northern part of the site lies immediately north of Greenside Farm and there is a short frontage to Biggar Road. The larger southern portion has a longer frontage to Biggar Road and also extensive frontage to Motherwell Road (B7066). These 2 areas are connected by a strip of land to the immediate west of Greenside Farm.
Road and field boundaries are defined by hedges and fences but the land otherwise lacks any definable features or trees, other than a hedge line and pylon / power line that crosses it, this being indicated on the attached Title Plan / Ordnance Survey extract.

The area south of the M8 at Newhouse, is dominated by industrial developments, comprising Eurocentral, Newhouse Industrial Estate and extremely modern major distribution centres for the likes of Co-op and Brakes Group.

South of this on the A73 is the Greenside Garden Centre. In addition there is an industrial/commercial property and yard further to the south fronting Biggar Road with further housing close to the junction of Biggar Road and the B7066 otherwise, the remaining land is open farmland with Greenside Farm at its centre.
