	Brownfield or greenfield sites are usually a good place to start for industrial and logistics development.
	Connectivity is key, the best sites are close to major trunk roads, motorways, and A-roads with junction access. Many of our sites are on the A14, M1, A1 and A11.
	Land that contains existing agricultural buildings can often be redeveloped for industrial and warehouse use.
	At Bidwells, we tend to look of a minimum of three acres in a prime area, but it is ideally 50-500 acres of ‘big box’ schemes.
	Ideally, the site would be away from residential areas, but this is not essential.
	Grade three land or poorer would be the most suitable for this kind of development, but if the location of the site is good then there is no restriction on land quality.
	Occupiers will need access to power, and this is becoming a more significant requirement, with many tenants installing electric vehicle charging points.
	Consider if the site has realistic chance of achieving planning consent for uses such as storage and distribution and light/general industrial.
