Development of Pendle industrial scheme commences, with interest already registered
Work has started on an industrial development in Pendle which will offer two industrial units and up to 15 smaller units.
Spring Gardens Business Park is situated at the edge of Colne town centre in close proximity to junction 14 of the M65.
Planning consent has been granted for the scheme with Phase I providing two industrial units of 4,000 and 10,000 sq ft, while Phase 2 will comprise 15 buildings from as small as 1,500 sq ft, up to 16,000 sq ft.
The units will be available on a freehold or leasehold basis with occupation scheduled to be available in the summer.
Other opportunities are available on a design and build basis with terms already agreed for approximately 12,000 sq ft.
The development is being undertaken jointly by a local investor and Mark Taylforth, of Pendle Projects.
Mark Taylforth said: “This is a prestigious new development for Colne and the wider Pendle area and I am confident that demand for the site will prove popular as construction commences. It is pleasing to see the initial interest in the site with terms already agreed on a couple of the units within the development.”
Construction of the scheme will be undertaken by MSM Construction of Barnoldswick which recently completed schemes elsewhere in Pendle such as Moon Court in Barnoldswick and Pendle Court at the edge of Nelson.
Retained agents are Trevor Dawson at the Burnley office. Director, Michael Cavannagh, said: “It is great to see this scheme coming forward in Colne. Despite the economic uncertainty demand for industrial premises remains strong and, given the location and quality of scheme, we are confident that there will be a high level of interest as the scheme progresses.”
