The plans site alongside other local plans for 1,300 new homes in the same area
Plans have been unveiled for three major employment developments in South Ribble which it is claimed could create more than 2,000 jobs. Public opinion on the proposals for the trio of plots in Samlesbury is currently being sought via a consultation.
Logik Strategic Land, which is behind the employment site proposals, says that there is a “very strong demand” at a regional and national level for the kind of industrial and logistics units that its plans would generate. Retail and hotel space could also be included in the scheme.
The company also claims that the estimated 2,267 jobs that would be created would give a £122m boost to the economy. The near 28-hectares of proposed development could accommodate a suggested 170,000 square metres of industrial and distribution space, 7,500 sqm of offices, retail space totalling 5,000 sqm and 8,916 sqm for a hotel.
Neil Spencer, a spokesperson for Logik Strategic Land, said that company wanted to “encourage as many people as possible to take part in our consultation process and let us know what they think about the proposals at this early stage”. He added: “These sites can deliver massive economic benefits to the regional economy and create a significant amount of jobs.”
