Melmerby eco business park set to expand
A business park at Melmerby, near Ripon, has been granted planning permission to build a further three units at its 60-acre site.
The park, owned by Potter Space, is located close to the A1 (M) and has previously won awards for its carbon neutral unit.
The new units will add 70,000 square foot to the site and include solar panels, electric vehicle charging points and cycle stores.
Potter Space operates five business parks across England with a business model that prioritises sustainability, biodiversity and wellbeing.
Jason Rockett, managing director at Potter Space, said:
"We’re pleased to be able to bring our latest investment plans to fruition at our Ripon business park and create more high-quality warehousing and industrial space to meet demand."
