New plans drawn up to build employment hub on former Peterborough Greyhound Stadium site
New plans have been revealed to build an employment hub on the former Peterborough Greyhound Stadium.
The proposals involve the construction of 17 commercial units of various sizes on the now demolished greyhound stadium in First Drove, Fengate.
Peterborough Sports Stadium Ltd has revealed the new plans 19 months after Peterborough City Council gave the go ahead for the demolition of the stadium to make way for a jobs-creating industrial development.
Details of the new plans are contained in a public notice made by Peterborough Sports Stadium Ltd to announce its intention to proceed with the development of the site.
The company has stated that it is seeking full planning permission for a total of 17 commercial units.
These will be six units of 714 square metres, plus another six units of 1,622 square metres and five of 12,442 square metres in size.
The proposed units will seek to meet demand for a range of uses from commercial, business and services to general industrial and storage and distribution.
The development will also feature associated car parking and associated works.
The company still has to formally submit a full planning application to the council to secure approval for the development.
Approval in principle for the redevelopment of the stadium was granted by the council in April last year – 17 months after the plans had been unveiled.
