Wyred Up aims to provide information on the range of premises and land available for development, which is vital if the industrial and commercial base of Wyre is to expand and grow.

 

The current property website:www.blackpoolunlimited.com/propertylocator lists available land, industrial and commercial, office, retail premises, and leisure opportunities, currently on the open market.

 

The premier opportunity available within Wyre is the Hillhouse International site located in Thornton-Cleveleys.

 

Purchased from ICI, proposals have been put forward by NPL Estates Ltd. to develop a range of facilities from industrial workshops and call centres through to retail and leisure opportunities, with associated residential development.

 

The 1,400 acre site presents a superb opportunity for a variety of end users. Local partners are supporting Hillhouse as a market ready site to assist in fulfilling North West England's property development requirements as the prime inward investment location.

 

Through the Local Plan, land has been identified which is available for industrial and commercial development.

 

Every effort will be made by the local authority to assist you in bringing your development proposal forward. Come and talk to the Economic Development Officer at Wyre Borough Council about your plans. All discussions will be treated in confidence and everything will be done to assist you.

 

Economic and employment aspects of planning applications are significant material considerations in determining applications. Applicants seeking to start, develop or protect commercial concerns will be responded to positively. There may be occasions when other factors are deemed to outweigh the economic benefits. On such occasions positive and creative solutions will be identified which will result in the best possible mix of economic activity and the protection of the environment.

 

Wyre Borough Councils own property holdings include workshop and industrial units at Thornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood. New companies currently operating from inadequate premises, moving into Council owned property, may be eligible for a rent-free period.
