APPROVAL HAS been granted for an extension to the west of the Integra 61 scheme to accommodate a further 3 million ft2 of employment space.
The plans for the second phase follow the success of the existing £400M Integra 61 development, where 90% of the 3m ft2 of developable space is already complete.
The major investment into the second phase has the potential to create some 300 new jobs throughout the build resulting in up to £30m in additional economic output (GVA) into the economy each year and could support c3000 jobs once operational, generating up to £100m of additional economic output (GVA) into the economy each year.
The outline planning consent allows for a range of storage/distribution and manufacturing units of varying sizes, to reflect market demand from regional businesses as well as those looking to invest in premises in the region.
The proposed development will, dependant on speed of uptake and demand, require the delivery of the Bowburn Development Route (relief road) in conjunction with Durham County Council and other stakeholders.
Integra 61 is already home to Amazon’s 2m ft2 fulfilment centre, a further 640,000 ft2 of speculative logistics space at Connect at Integra 61 and an impressive roadside portfolio including Costa and Greggs along with an incoming £4 million EG On The Move petrol station.
