New employment park planned for Scunthorpe growth corridor

A 77-acre business park is set to be developed near junction 3 of the M180 as part of the Lincolnshire Lakes strategic growth zone. The project, named Forge Point, is being led by property developer Hargreaves Land and will form part of a wider mixed-use development that includes thousands of new homes and community infrastructure.

Forge Point is positioned to accommodate up to 959,300 square feet of new commercial space and is expected to offer both freehold and leasehold design-and-build options. It sits adjacent to land earmarked for 550 homes, forming part of a larger 6,000-home target across the Lincolnshire Lakes scheme.

The business park aligns with the area’s Area Action Plan, which supports the integration of high-tech business units, offices, and hospitality facilities to drive long-term economic development.

The site’s proximity to major transport links and a growing residential base is expected to appeal to logistics, advanced manufacturing, and professional services firms seeking scalable space in the North Lincolnshire region.
