Jobs hope as Skegness £2.4m business park plan reaches key development stage

Great progress is being made on the site, with Lincolnshire County Council appointing a commercial agent to sell two new plots of land at the site.

A key link road has now been completed between Hassall Road and Holly Road, and Banks Long & Co has been instructed to market around two acres of development land on a freehold basis.

The expansion has been funded jointly by the county council and a Single Local Growth Fund Grant from the Greater Lincolnshire LEP.

Coun Colin Davie, executive councillor for economy and place at the county council, said: "Skegness business park is a major employment site on the Lincolnshire coast.

"It offers attractive growth opportunities for successful local businesses and inward investors alike.

"We are confident that the plots will generate a strong level of interest and importantly, help secure year-round jobs for the Skegness area."

Banks Long & Co Director William Wall said: “We applaud the council and LEP for committing such significant funds to opening up this vital employment land, enabling the east coast economy to diversify and grow, and we are delighted to be marketing it.

“Plot 1A extends to 0.61 acres. It has detailed planning consent for three 1,000 sq ft and four 750 sq ft industrial units making it ideal for an owner occupier that may require whole/part of the accommodation or a developer looking to deliver premises for the thriving local small business community.

“The larger Plot 1B extends to 1.34 acres and has outline planning consent for buildings suitable for a range of commercial employment uses. Importantly, both plots area available free of builder tie.”

Skegness Business Park is already home to a variety of well-known national trade counter and industrial businesses, all of whom benefit from quick access to the A52 and Skegness town centre.
