Over 1,000 jobs on the way as business park gets go-ahead
A new business park has been given the go ahead by Harborough District Council following a planning committee meeting.
The green light has been given to Wellington Business Park, which will include 450,000 sq ft of industrial, warehousing and office accommodation on 33-acres of land north of Airfield Farm. The site already has planning permission for 1,500 houses a primary school and associated community facilities.
The land site formed part of the airfield that was used by the RAF in World War II and was home to the Wellington Bombers of No. 14 Operational Training Unit of RAF Bomber Command.
Commercial property agent, Prop-Search has been appointed as sole agent to market and promote the new business park.
Director at Prop-Search, Richard Baker, said: “Wellington Business Park represents an exciting opportunity to create business opportunities and we look forward to engaging further local, regional and national businesses in respect of this exciting opportunity now that w have secured the resolution.”
“With its proposed sustainable and the high-quality design, it will undoubtedly relieve some of the latent demand for space from occupiers and lead to a high level of job creation. In turn this will boost investment in the region who would otherwise have to move out of the area. Working closely with Harborough District Council, we are confident that this site will boost investment in the region and support local economic growth.”
Buildings will initially be available on a build-to suit-basis with industrial/warehouse units from 10,000 sq ft to 100,000 sq ft and office buildings from 5,000 sq ft. They will be available on a leasehold or freehold basis.
