Leicestershire college to sell two sites

Russell Rigby

Brooksby Melton College has instructed agents to put two sites up for sale.

The College has chosen Rigby & Co to market sites in Melton Mowbray and at Brooksby, with planning consent in place for both projects.

The town centre Melton Mowbray site on King Street has full planning for 18 apartments and three houses.

Meanwhile, the college is selling part of its Spinney Campus, a site of 8.5 acres which has planning for 70 houses together with a café and a small commercial floor space.

Mark Bendle, acting principal, said: “The College has spent three years carefully securing planning approval for both these sites and we are delighted that these sites are now in the market and that the disposal process has begun. Receipts generated from the sale of these two redundant assets will allow us to improve our cultural and community offer at our Asfordby Road Campus in Melton, plus it will allow the College to enhance the quality of its educational provision and heritage building at the Brooksby Hall Campus.”

Russell Rigby, managing director of Rigby & Co, added: “We were thrilled to have been selected by Brooksby Melton following their recent procurement process. Having provided consultancy support to the college since 2010, we are excited at the task now at hand to dispose of two surplus assets which will provide valuable capital funding back into the College. Both these sites will be seen in the market as very attractive and we expect high interest from both affordable and registered providers and mainstream house builders.”
