Plans submitted for employment mixed-use development in Settle

Candelisa, the Skipton-based developer, has made an outline submission for a mixed use development on the outskirts of Settle, North Yorkshire.

Plans for Anley Crag Business Park, which will be located on land to the South of Settle, between the A65 and the B6480, includes over 114,000 sq. ft of business centre, hybrid units and general industrial space.

In addition, a further 23,000 sq. ft of space is assigned for a new showroom for a car brand. The plans also include provision for 19 residential units with off street parking and garages.

Guy Taylor, managing director of Candelisa, said: “The potential of the site is fantastic. We have analysed the local need in detail and we feel the mix and level of development is appropriate for the site and its location, and is in line with the local development plan and national planning policy.

“If the planning application is successful it will bring much needed capacity for buildings of this type in Settle, as well as significant employment benefits through the introduction of new businesses.”

Two new bus stops along the B640 and new footpath provision along the B6480 are also proposed.

Mr Taylor added: “We are acutely aware of the outstanding natural beauty of the area and will take all necessary steps to protect this in terms of landscaping.

“The proposals also include careful consideration for the site and the high quality buildings will reflect the palette of local materials.”
