For Sale by Auction — Wednesday 28th October 2026 at 1.00pm, Claridge's, Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4HR Guide Price: £20,000 Freehold | Vacant Possession | Approximately 500 sq m (5,382 sq ft / 0.12 acres) STMS Buyer's premium and contract documents charge apply. See Buyer's Costs below.
A freehold plot at Rowley Regis, just metres from Springfield Social Club
Palace Auctions is instructed to sell Plot 30, a freehold plot of land off Dudley Road in Rowley Regis, lying just metres from the rear of the Springfield Social Club building. The plot extends to approximately 500 sq m (5,382 sq ft or 0.12 acres), subject to measured survey. It is offered with vacant possession on completion.
Plot 30 is one of 42 plots laid out across a field between the houses of Dudley Road and the Rowley Hills. It sits at the eastern end of the field, close to the social club and the site entrance. This is a separate lot from Plot 4 (Lot 26), which lies in the same field.
The land is open and has no planning permission. It is in an established residential part of Rowley Regis. To the north, Sandwell Council approved detailed plans in 2023 for 278 homes on the former Edwin Richards Quarry. That permission does not extend to this plot. Palace Auctions gives no assurance that permission would be granted for Plot 30 or the wider field.
The plot may appeal to investors holding land for the longer term and to buyers looking for amenity land close to the social club and Dudley Road.
The lot is sold under an unconditional auction contract. Contracts exchange on the fall of the hammer, and completion is 28 days later.

The Land
Plot 30 is a parcel of open land at the eastern end of a field divided into 42 plots, behind the houses fronting Dudley Road. It lies close to the rear of the Springfield Social Club building and to Plot 31. Its boundaries are shown on the plan in the legal pack, and buyers should check the extent of the plot against it. The plot boundaries may not be marked on the ground. Any plan, layout or image in these particulars is for identification only.
There are no buildings on the land, and no mains services are known to be connected. There is no planning permission for any use or development.
Access: Access to the field is over adjoining land from Dudley Road, beside the social club. The layout shows a proposed internal road serving the plots. Buyers must satisfy themselves from the legal pack as to:
- the rights of way granted to Plot 30, including their route
- whether those rights cover vehicles as well as pedestrians
- who owns and maintains the access land
- any obligation to contribute to its construction or upkeep
Designations: Buyers should check with Sandwell Council whether the land is affected by any Green Belt, open space or nature conservation designation.
Planning
Any change of use or development would need planning permission from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and other consents may be required. The 42-plot layout shows how the field has been divided for sale. It is not an approved development scheme. Palace Auctions gives no assurance that permission would be granted. Buyers should take their own planning advice and make their own enquiries with the council before bidding.
