Horsham Enterprise Park Scheme Delivery

This report seeks Cabinet endorsement of arrangements for the delivery of the Horsham Enterprise Park scheme on land owned by the County Council. The arrangements will include establishing a Development Agreement through the procurement of a development partner, who would carry out commercial and residential development in accordance with the approved outline planning permission for the site; and to fund and carry out enabling works to aid the de-risking of the site.

 

The main objectives to be achieved are to develop an enterprise park that will retain and promote high-value employment in Horsham and the county; and to generate a financial return on the Council’s investment.
