Brackley Property Developments (BPD) has secured planning consent for a circa 30,000 sq ft light industrial scheme in Leicester.
BPD will redevelop the former council depot site off Blackbird Road, near Leicester city centre, on behalf of Leicester City Council.
When completed, the scheme will provide 21 small units for start-ups and growing businesses.
Stephen Pedrick-Moyle, managing director of BPD, said: “We are very pleased to have gained planning consent to redevelop the vacant former Ian Marlow Centre. We have cleared the site in readiness for construction of much-needed small business units for local occupiers.
“The scheme will contribute to the council’s efforts to attract and retain high-tech industries in Leicester, with the potential to support new jobs and business growth.”
