Blackpool Council is seeking a development partner for 30,000 sq m of land at Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone.
The construction of an £18m road to access the land has already started and is expected to complete in late 2025. The development plots could cater for industrial units ranging from 15,000 sq ft to 75,000 sq ft.
The enterprise zone has access to the ‘North Atlantic Loop’ subsea cable, which means occupiers can enjoy high capacity, ultra-low latency access to some of the world’s fastest, most reliable internet speeds.
Unveiling the opportunity at UKREiiF in Leeds, councillor Mark Smith, cabinet member for levelling up (place) at Blackpool Council, said: “The Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone is becoming a premier business destination for the North West, with a number of leading national and international manufacturing companies already located here.
“For developers, we have made great progress on the infrastructure, with power, internet and water being delivered to the site, and a brand-new landscaped access road available next year. With a large element of the risk taken out of the site, this allows a developer to work with us to realise our ambitions of creating more high quality jobs in the local area over the next few years.”
