£100m park plan by Humber Bridge

The group said infrastructure work on the Bridgehead Business Park in Hessle is likely to start early next year.

The park will occupy 50 acres of land. Part of the site was previously occupied by the old Hessle Golf Club which relocated as part of the bridge construction more than 30 years ago. The site will be developed by Bridgeland, a Wykeland company, in partnership with The Humber Bridge Board and Hessle Golf Course Company.

Once fully developed, about 612,000 sq ft of business space will be available for offices, research and development and high-tech/clean manufacturing uses.

Wykeland’s development director, Stephen Hudson, said: “Our intention is to create a ‘next generation’ and Yorkshire’s greenest business park with low density development and careful attention to the local environment, with around 40 per cent given over to landscaping which will incorporate a detailed bio-diversity strategy.

“We see Bridgehead as playing a key role in our region’s economy especially as a support location to the growing renewable sector in the region and will provide high quality space to enable businesses to expand and at the same time attract major new investment from out of town.”

PPH Commercial are the main agents for the business park.
