Units are derelict Delphi factory, in Newton Road, Sudbury, listed on Rightmove by Savills

Units at a derelict factory which was engulfed by a fire earlier this year have been listed on Rightmove.

In June, a blaze ripped through the Delphi factory, in Newton Road, Sudbury, which has been empty since 2020 following the closure of Delphi Diesel Systems, causing hundreds of job losses.

The site has also seen repeated incidents of vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

Since the fire, the future of the factory has been discussed, promoting the launch of an action group by Sudbury Mayor Cllr Alison Owen in August.

At the time, Cllr Owen said: “Due to public interest concerns for the future of the site, I feel as mayor of Sudbury I needed to set up an action group of councillors from Sudbury Town Council to work together and look at the possibilities to revamp the area.

“This will help to encourage visitors to the town, highlight the need to see our community making use of the derelict site, encourage job prospects and services to the town.”

Savills, a real estate company, is now offering an opportunity to secure new built units at the former Delphi site.

The industrial/warehouse units will range from 750 to 300,000sqft and will be available on a pre-let or sale basis.

It states that the units are part of a ‘comprehensive redevelopment of the former Delphi Technologies facility’.

The units will accommodate a range of uses, with flexibility in options for detached, semi-detached, and terraced units.

The listing says: “Our marketing is likely to inform a planning application for a comprehensive redevelopment of the site which will determine the layout and positioning of individual units.

“Therefore taking into account the time to secure planning, complete legals, we would envisage the units can be delivered within 24-36 months.”

Anyone interested is asked to contact the real estate company for information on the pricing.

Mohammed Asjad, owner of the 23-acre site, announced in June that he had £40 million rejuvenation plans for the site.

These included proposals for an alternative mixed-use scheme, such as small light industrial units for food and retail, residential homes, retirement living, small retail units such as a drive-through and a community hub and bowling green.
