Business park gets green light for more employment space

Property developer Stirlin has been given the nod for a new phase of employment space at its business park in Lincoln, which will potentially create around 25 jobs.

North Kesteven District Council have approved plans for five hybrid office and warehouse units, to be located on Stirlin’s Leafbridge Business Park in Hykeham.

The new phase (Building H), will be the third phase constructed so far on the 44-acre business park, with all existing units now occupied or sold subject to contract.

Managing director of Stirlin, Tony Lawton, said: “We are absolutely delighted that the local authority has approved our plans for a new phase on Leafbridge Business Park. Consent for further development on the site allows us to offer another fantastic opportunity for businesses and investors looking to expand and relocate, bringing new employment to the area.

“We don’t expect these units to be on the market for long. This particular style of commercial unit, that we first brought to the marketplace, has been incredibly popular among both owner occupiers and leasehold tenants.”

“Designs are currently being prepared for the remainder of the site, so we welcome any interested investors or businesses to get in touch with their exact requirements.”

Tim Downing, director of Pygott & Crone, added: “Leafbridge is now recognised locally, regionally and nationally as the premier business park in the region and we continue to receive high levels of interest from owner occupiers and investors. Stirlin is a major contributor to the growth of the local economy and we are excited to continue working with them on this prestigious scheme.”

Construction on the new phase is due to commence at the end of July this year, with completion expected at the beginning of 2022.
