Honingham Land for Sale - Easton, Norfolk

The Food Enterprise Park is a 100 acre development site within the DEFRA Greater Norwich Food Enterprise Zone, and stands as a centre of excellence, strategically designed to nurture an economic cluster of dynamic food, drink and agritech businesses. The FEP's Local Development Order status provides full planning permission for qualifying uses, enabling swift establishment and expansion of businesses on the site. Situated to the west of Norwich at Honingham, near Easton, the FEP immediately adjoins the A47, one of the main transport routes in the region linking Norwich to King's Lynn and Peterborough to the west, and provides easy access to London and Cambridge via the recently dualled A11 and M11. The historic city of Norwich has an urban population of 213,000 (2011 Census) and offers an outstanding quality of life, with the stunning coastline, historic towns and Norfolk Broads all within easy reach. The Government is implementing a £200m programme of improvements to the A47, including the dualling of the single carriageway section between North Tuddenham and Easton. The upgrade works are currently under construction and will create direct access to the site with a new roundabout. Journey times to and from the site will be significantly improved. Plot ABC extends to 12.24 acres and can be taken as a whole or on a split basis from c. 2 acres. PHASE 1 All infrastructure is in place to support food related businesses, including a road network, surface, foul and mains water systems, high speed broadband and 30MW electricity to power the site. Phase 1 offers 46 acres of commercial development land in plots to accommodate units of 5,000 sq ft to 250,000 sq ft, on freehold or leasehold terms, with planning and all infrastructure in place, building works can start immediately. PHASE 2 50 acres which benefit from Local Development Order status and upon completion of the site infrastructure works, will offer serviced and consented development plots from c.1 acre upwards with access to generous amounts of power. Streamlined Planning Food Enterprise Zones (FEZ) are a government initiative introduced by the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The Greater Norwich FEZ was designated in 2015, and a Local Development Order (LDO) put in place by Broadland District Council in 2017 in respect of Phase 1, and by South Norfolk District Council in 2025 in respect of Phase 2. Occupiers who have already located to the FEP include: CONDIMENTUM LIMITED 3 acre site retaining the iconic Colman's name in Norwich, with a state-of-the-art mint & mustard mill.

Do I need planning permission before buying commercial land?
Not necessarily, but land with outline or full planning permission is generally more valuable and easier to develop. If buying without permission (often called 'strategic land'), you’ll need to apply through the local planning authority before development can proceed.
What is the difference between brownfield and greenfield land?
Brownfield land refers to previously developed land (e.g. former industrial or commercial sites), often with existing infrastructure. Greenfield land is undeveloped and typically located in rural or suburban areas. Brownfield sites may require more remediation but are often easier to gain planning consent for.
What due diligence should I carry out before purchasing development land?
Check the planning history, local development plan, title and legal ownership, contamination or environmental risks, access rights, and any restrictive covenants. Engage planning consultants and solicitors early in the process.
Is access to services important when buying development land?
Yes. Availability of electricity, water, sewage, and road access significantly impacts development viability and cost. Fully serviced plots are more desirable and typically fetch a premium.
What types of developments can commercial land be used for?
Depending on planning permission, commercial land can be developed into retail parks, industrial estates, logistics hubs, office parks, mixed-use schemes, or leisure facilities. The site’s location and zoning will influence its most suitable use.
What taxes and costs apply when buying commercial land in the UK?
Buyers may be liable for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), VAT (if applicable), legal and surveying fees, and planning application costs. SDLT on non-residential land starts at 2% above £150,000 and rises to 5% over £250,000.
