Huge job-creating scheme put before planning chiefs

Plans to develop a 20-acre site near Saxilby have been submitted to West Lindsey District Council which if approved could lead to the creation of over 400 jobs.

Stirlin Developments has partnered with Castle Square Securities to deliver the proposed 200,000 sq ft Enterprise West Lindsey scheme, which will act as an extension of the existing Riverside Enterprise Park, Allen’s Business Park and Saxilby Enterprise Park.

Hundreds of office, research and development, industrial and distribution jobs are expected to be created if planning chiefs approve the scheme.

Stirlin managing director James Kirby said: “This exciting project has the potential to accommodate more than 200,000 sq ft of new commercial space and support over 400 jobs and it will help to support the continued growth of the economy in Greater Lincoln.

“Our planning application seeks consent to develop the land and approve the means of access and drainage.  It is hoped that planning permission will be in place by mid-summer, enabling site servicing works to start later this year.

“The site can accommodate a broad range of requirements and meet the needs of  businesses looking for 3,000 sq ft to 40,000 sq ft of accommodation. It will offer occupiers freehold and leasehold buildings, including light industrial, hybrid and office units.”
