A business park on the outskirts of Swansea which still only has one tenant after years of marketing could attract more with a change in occupation policy, according to a chartered surveyor. Jason Thorne said he has been helping a developer try to acquire land at Parc Felindre, near junction 46 of the M4, but without success.
Mr Thorne, co-director at Hunt and Thorne chartered surveyors, Swansea Enterprise Park, said he believed the types of occupant sought for Parc Felindre needed to be expanded. The business park was developed jointly by the Welsh Government and Swansea Council.
In 2018 it emerged that £36 million had been spent preparing the site – a former tinplate works. Since then only logistics company DPD has located there, taking up three of 12 available units, although the Welsh Government said new enquiries were being assessed. But Mr Thorne a change of tack was needed. "All they need to do is change their policy of occupation," he said.
