Options are currently being investigated to bring the site forward for business and industrial development and the developing low carbon sector. Our Masterplan identifies how 10,000 sqm of industrial and office space could be accommodated at the site. Detailed planning permission was approved in 2009 for a scheme of remediation and infrastructure at the site. The scheme includes access and service roads, utilities, remediation and a development platform. It was costed at £4.8 million (in 2009) to deliver a CEEQUAL Excellent scheme.
