Enterprise units to be included in Charles land development

CAIRN Homes have committed to including enterprise units in their planned Charlesland development.

‘Cairn Homes applied for permission for 192 homes in Charlesland but originally did not commit to building the required Enterprise units,’ said Cllr Derek Mitchell. ‘I objected to this as jobs cannot be created in Greystones unless work units are built.’

He said that he is glad that Cairn have now committed to 8,000 square metres of enterprise units in the next phase before the final 200 houses are built.

This is to include 2,700 square metres of community units for start-ups.

‘A decade ago I wrote a paper with the Chamber of Commerce showing the need for this and this was included in the site plan which is why it has been committed now,’ said Cllr Mitchell.

A Primary School is to be built in Phase 2 and a Secondary School, next to the sports facilities, in Phase 5.

A bus interchange is to be included in Phase 1 as required, this is needed if we are to have a good bus service. Cairn are currently selling houses on an adjacent site.
