Speculative business park development receives planning permission

A speculative business park scheme in Somerset has received detailed planning permission from the local authority, a news report in the local business media has found.

The consent covers the 45-acre first phase of the development at the new Bridgwater Gateway business park in Somerset and comprises a range of proposed new business park buildings including offices, industrial and a 150-bed hotel.

The initial enabling works have already started on site to create the access and entrance into the park. Work has also started on an upgrade of the Huntworth roundabout and the A38.

Bridgwater Gateway is said to be one of the largest new business parks to commence in the South West within the last ten years, and is set to be a major contributor to the local economy with the potential to create new jobs.

Phil Wade of Bridgwater Gateway said: "This speculative start on site shows our determination to capitalise on this fantastic location and the opportunities for occupiers in Bridgwater."

A development of this size is likely to involve numerous contractors working on the site, so companies that decide to get involved should also consider the implementation of a solid and reliable workforce management system, and this is exactly where Time & Attendance South West can help.
