THE NEW SCHEME would see two units of 152,998 ft2 and 92,010 ft2 constructed on a 16-acre greenfield site plot on Staplee Way, Parnell. Both units will be built target BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A rating.
Newland Developments said: “Our design has been centred on a landscape-led approach, ensuring the scheme is sustainable and well-integrated into its surroundings. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with Peterborough City Council as we work towards a positive and timely determination.”
The scheme is expected to provide 439 full time equivalent jobs, generate up to £32.8 million GVA per year and provide the council with £660,000 a year in business rates.
According to Peterborough City Council’s latest economic development assessment a number of recent inward investment enquiries regarding large scale food manufacturing and fulfilment operations are currently being managed each with the potential to support 150-200 new jobs.
The local press has reported that the council’s head of economic growth and development Tom Hennessey said: “Since July 2024 we have had five new enquiries. We are currently progressing three live enquiries from a food manufacturing company, a fulfilment centre and a motor group.”
