We acquired a piece of land, on the fringes of Hailsham on the A22, Lower Dicker, in 2020. In October 2021 Cabinet agreed to move forward with plans to develop the site to deliver employment units to provide for economic development, increase employment and generate a revenue stream for the Council.
The site is approximately 40 acres with direct frontage to the A22, which is the arterial route between Eastbourne, Hailsham, Uckfield and up to London. It is likely to involve several phases of development over the next 10 years or more.
Once developed, the employment park is expected to bring more jobs to the area, boost the local economy, and provide an opportunity for businesses which need premises with accessible routes into Brighton, London and surrounding towns.
This is a great opportunity to attract new businesses to the area and to keep businesses which may otherwise have had to relocate because of their growth in Wealden. Research tell us there is a need for industrial units in the south east of England and employment land along the A22 employment corridor. Similar local schemes such as Swallow Business Park and Chaucer Business Park have all seen a good take up.
