Forge Point Employment Park, J3, M180 North Lincolnshire, Scunthorpe, DN17

Forge Point is an exciting new 77 acre (31 hectare) employment development brought forward by Hargreaves Land in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. Strategically located with excellent road access to the M18 motorway via the M181 and M180, the site is allocated for a strategic mixed-use area and presents a rare opportunity for businesses looking to establish a presence in a well-connected location.

Location
Forge Point, Scunthorpe, is located on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, ideally situated between London and Edinburgh and at the most northern part of the Greater Lincolnshire region.

Forge Point forms part of the wider Lincolnshire Lakes development, a strategic development that is considered to be one of the largest residential development opportunities in the UK. Once complete the area will see over 6,000 new homes, in a number of village settings alongside local and district centres, education facilities and recreation and leisure opportunities. It is aimed that the development will create a gateway entrance to Scunthorpe.

North Lincolnshire is a nationally significant manufacturing hub, strategically positioned within the UK’s food belt (York to Lincoln) and energy corridor (east to west), offering strong connectivity and supply chain access. With excellent transport links via ports, rail, airports, and motorways, it provides fast access
to UK, European, and global markets. The area also benefits from strong public-private collaboration, creating a well-balanced and business friendly environment.

Specifications
With a design and build approach, occupiers have the opportunity to shape the layout, size, and specification of their unit from the ground up. Whether it’s enhanced power supply, specific production flows, specialist loading bays, or bespoke office and welfare facilities, the unit can be configured to suit your exact processes and efficiency goals. The developer manages the entire process, from planning and design through to construction, streamlining delivery and reducing coordination headaches. This means occupiers benefit from a quicker route to occupation, with fewer unknowns and a single point of accountability throughout the build. By being involved early in the design process, occupiers can future-proof their space, factoring in growth, automation, sustainability targets, and evolving industry standards. The result is a facility that not only meets today’s needs, but can adapt to tomorrow’s challenges without costly retrofits.

Planning
The site forms part of a strategic mixed-use area set out in the adopted Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan (May 2016), which supports a range
of uses including a high-tech business park, offices and hotel. Subject to planning, Use Classes E(g), B2, and B8 will likely be considered.
