Land Adjoining Barry Road, Bitton

Prominent Class E Commercial Development Site – Barry Road, Oldland Common
Guide Price: £500,000 plus VAT
A prominent commercial development opportunity occupying approximately 0.38 acres (0.15 hectares) with extensive frontage to the A4175 Barry Road.
The site forms Phase B of the former Chief Trading Post redevelopment and benefits from planning permission for a distinctive single-storey Class E retail/café building extending to approximately 340 sq m (3,660 sq ft). The approved courtyard-style scheme also provides 27 customer parking spaces, landscaping and associated infrastructure.
Situated within an expanding residential area, the site enjoys a highly visible position on a well-used route connecting Oldland Common, Longwell Green, Keynsham and east Bristol. Its prominent location and substantial surrounding residential catchment may suit a variety of retail, café, convenience, healthcare, nursery, veterinary, showroom or service-based operators.
Although the site already benefits from consent for a Class E retail/café scheme, purchasers may also wish to explore its potential for alternative commercial, community or other uses. Any alternative use or redevelopment would be strictly subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and all other relevant consents.
The former private covenant restricting the property’s use and preventing occupation by certain named grocery retailers was released by deed in February 2026.
