A mixed-use development proposed for Scarborough Business Park could support up to 950 permanent jobs if approved.

Caddick (Scarborough) Ltd has submitted an outline application for a major mixed-use development at Scarborough Business Park, three miles south of Scarborough town centre. The application replaces a similar scheme granted in 2016 that expired in January this year and retains its fundamental characteristics. The 11.64-hectare site would include 50,000 square metres of industrial and logistics space with ancillary office accommodation, a 1,393 square metre car showroom, a 1,858 square metre hotel, 3,800 square metres of retail, leisure and service uses, and a 700 square metre drive-thru facility.

According to planning documents submitted to North Yorkshire Council, the scheme would generate £23.4 million of gross value added during construction and up to £63.3 million during operation. It would create 260 full-time equivalent jobs during construction and up to 950 jobs during operations across a variety of areas. The applicant states the development would 'attract new business and investment to the area, using modern energy-efficient buildings' and would 'make a significant contribution to the local and regional economy'. The existing business park is home to major employer Schneider Electrical.
