Site Description
A site of approximately 20 hectares situated between the railway line, connecting London to Cambridge, and the A505, is being brought forward for employment development within a wider strategic development opportunity (Growing Baldock).
Growing Baldock is a scheme immediately surrounding the north, east and south of Baldock, delivering up to 3,000 new homes, two new primary schools, five form entry of secondary school capacity, a local centre with community uses, and around 50 acres of employment uses.
The overall scheme is currently being taken through the outline planning application process, and Urban&Civic is welcoming expressions of interest to discuss delivery of employment uses, from shared office workspaces to research and development facilities, through to low level industrial uses.
