A thriving business park on the outskirts of Lincoln is set to expand, bringing much-needed extra office and industrial space to the city.

North Kesteven District Council has granted planning permission for phase four of Lincoln Enterprise Park on the A46 south of the city, and work is due to start on the additional four office units and three industrial units in the New Year.

Lincoln Enterprise Park has been extensively developed over the last three years and is now one of Lincoln's leading industrial parks.

Phase four of the five-acre development will provide a further 406m² (4,388 square feet) of serviced office space and 618 m² (6,647square feet) of industrial space.

Nick Falkinder, a Director of Lincoln Enterprise Park, said the development of phase four would be a boost for the local business community.

"The business park is in a perfect location for new and established businesses and we've been tremendously encouraged by its success so far," he said.

"All of the units in phases one, two and thee have been sold or occupied and we're sure that the demand is there for phase four.

"By investing in the city in this way we're making a clear statement of confidence in Lincoln's economy and we're sure that there'll be plenty of interest in the new units."

Lincoln Enterprise Park offers easy access to the A1 / M1 corridor and the East Coast Main Line as well as extensive car parking facilities and practical and flexible business units.

The office space will be available to buy freehold in entire units or on a floor-by-floor basis. They will feature a high-quality, aesthetically pleasing design and can be fitted out to the occupier's exact requirements.

The industrial units will be of steel framed construction and will feature half-clad half brick elevations, a single loading door and separate pedestrian access with a glass canopy leading to office accommodation.
