Farningham Road Industrial Estate – The Brickworks

Wealden District Council has completed the delivery of new, high‑quality employment units at Farningham Road Industrial Estate (The Brickworks) in Crowborough. The scheme forms part of the Council’s wider commitment to supporting local economic growth by providing modern, sustainable employment space for businesses in the district.

About the project

The Farningham Road Industrial Estate project has delivered purpose‑built employment units at Wealden Business Park. The development was designed to respond to a recognised shortage of small and medium‑sized employment space in the Crowborough area and to support businesses looking to expand or relocate locally.

The units provide modern, flexible accommodation suitable for a range of business uses, including light industrial, storage and distribution and general commercial activity – excluding motor trade .

Delivered features

The completed scheme includes:

• High‑specification, flexible employment units
• High levels of insulation and energy‑efficient construction
• Roof‑mounted solar panels with battery storage
• Electric vehicle charging points
• Roller shutter and personnel access doors
• Generous parking and servicing space
• Adaptability to allow mezzanine floors, subject to consent

The development has been designed to support long‑term use while minimising environmental impact.
