Next steps for Stallingborough Interchange
Associated British Ports has submitted plans to develop a 96-acre patch on the 228-acre site, primarily to provide open automotive storage for the ports of Immingham and Grimsby.
70-acres will be developed for the external storage of vehicles involved with import-export activities, alongside 130,000 sq ft of floor space in associated buildings, infrastructure, and other associated works.
The remainder of the application is focused on green landscaping and a phase of ground mounted solar panels to provide green energy to the development.
ABP aims to start on site next year.
Greg Lacey, head of property (Humber) for ABP said: “A year after the purchase of what is such a significant investment site, we bring to fruition our shared ambition to create a major UK port logistics development.
“This is part of the wider Stallingborough development that will deliver up to a further 1.5m sq ft of industrial and manufacturing space across the remainder of the site that benefits from an existing planning consent.
“The site is one of the largest development land parcels in such proximity to the ports, and of significant scale versus wider opportunities in the Yorkshire region.”
Next to the A180, two miles from the Port of Immingham, and six miles from the Port of Grimsby, the site is one of the largest of the original Enterprise Zones in the area and has been allocated in the local plan for employment use since 2013.
The site is also connected to the Humber Link Road, the new port connection road built in 2021 that links Immingham and Grimsby.
Also referred to as Pioneer Business Park, it has traditionally been used as agricultural farmland.
Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports said: “Demand is expected to increase for energy generation, automotive storage, bulk warehousing, and storage and distribution uses, and this new site will ensure the delivery of state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities, and technological innovation for new and existing customers.”
