EMPLOYMENT SITE, WOODVILLE, SWADLINCOTE, DERBYSHIRE

Description

The employment site forms part of a mixed use development scheme with other component sites consisting of residential and retail/local centre uses. The employment site is located on the western half of the development scheme and extends to approximately 15.88 gross acres (6.43 gross hectares) or thereabouts.

The employment site is predominantly made up of grass meadows with the north eastern quadrant of the site containing a pond, which will be retained for the necessary attenuation and become the continued responsibility of the employment site's purchaser. The north west and southern boundaries are bounded by existing industrial sites. On the eastern boundary is the proposed local centre/retail site which will be marketed in Q4 2022.

The east of the development scheme consists of the residential sites R1 and R2. The sale of R1 has recently completed and a Reserved Matters planning application submitted. The marketing of the site R2 is due to commence in Q3 2022.

The employment site is directly accessed via the recently completed Woodville to Swadlincote Regeneration Route (WSRR), which is one kilometre bypass through the development scheme from the A514 through to Occupation Lane. The WSRR bisects the development scheme into having the employment and local centre/retail uses to its west and residential use to its east.

The WSRR will also provide connectivity to further employment areas, which will need to be incorporated into the development of the employment site as per the masterplan.
