More than 400 jobs are coming to Ellesmere Port after plans to bring a 'great' new development to the town were approved by local planning chiefs.
Cheshire West and Chester’s planning committee gave the green light to proposals by Vortex Business Park, off New Bridge Road, to build six commercial units which will have a collective floor space of more than 21,000 sqm. At Tuesday's planning meeting, project backers estimated that the development would boost the local economy by a sum of around £44m-£72m a year.
Around 420 new jobs jobs are set to be created by the scheme, with developers already having received 'significant interest' from prospective tenants. The scheme was approved unanimously by the committee and the units will be used for a variety of functions including office space, industrial use and storage.
