Vision
A perfectly located employment site which will drive economic growth in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, reinforcing the area’s reputation as a logistics hub and a centre of manufacturing excellence
Description
Chatterley Park offers high quality employment space on a strategic site adjacent to the A500. Forming part of the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone, the site will be available for end users and occupiers from the end of 2025, can accommodate requirements of over 500,000 square feet, and offers unrestricted building height.
Chatterley Park is one of the largest employment sites in Staffordshire and is being developed by Harworth in partnership with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Staffordshire County Council.
It sits next to the A500 offering swift access to the M6 at Junction 16 and the A50 for east to west links, and forms part of the wider Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone.
Opportunity
Following a substantial earthworks and site servicing programme, development plots will be available from Spring 2025 for end user requirements ranging from 25,000 to 518,000 square feet. The site is unique in offering unrestricted building heights across its full extent, making it suitable for a wide range of end users. With a target of BREEAM Excellent certification and Energy Efficiency A rating, the site will maximise opportunities for Net Zero Carbon in operation.
