Proposed extension to Lincolnshire business park given the green light
Plans to extend a business park in Branston, Lincolnshire has been given the go-ahead by Council planning bosses.
North Kesteven District Council has approved plans to create an additional 10 units at Kirk’s Yard, a 2.4-acre industrial site located 4 miles outside Lincoln city centre.
Lincoln-based developer Stirlin completed the first phase of the scheme – consisting of 6 industrial units ranging from 1,000 sq ft to 1,400 sq ft – in March 2019 before adding five more slightly larger units.
The third phase of Kirk’s Yard will comprise ten units ranging in size from 1507 sq ft to 2,005 sq ft.
Tony Lawton, managing director at Stirlin, said: “We’re delighted to receive planning approval for a third phase at Kirk’s Yard. Following the significant interest we received for the first two phases, with all units now sold, we’ve seen a strong demand for new employment space in the area.
“The site has proven extremely popular, particularly due to its easy access to the new Lincoln Eastern Bypass, which allows people to avoid traffic congestion in the city centre.”
Jamie Thorpe, chartered surveyor at Pygott & Crone, added: “Stirlin’s development of Kirks Yard in Branston has been hugely successful. Phase 2 saw all units sell off-plan well in advance of build completion and we are experiencing pent up demand in this location, with a waiting list of enquires.
“It comes as no surprise that the Local Authority welcomed a much-needed extension to the business park that will facilitate business growth and job creation in the area.”
