plans of local businesses who have seen the site as a suitable location for investment.

“During this time it became increasing­ly apparent that parts of the commercial site were not meeting commercial business requiremen­ts and it has been through a constructi­ve relationsh­ip with Perth and Kinross Council that we have been able to find uses for those parts of the site.

“The site for which the change of use applicatio­n has been submitted has not attracted any market interest as employment land. We believe this to be the result of a combinatio­n of access constraint­s, topography, dislocatio­n from the Broxden Services Park and the prospects of the emerging Perth Eco Innovation Park.

“The popularity of the Charlotte Gate developmen­t has presented a timely opportunit­y to complete the developmen­t as we mark the next big steps for Perth’s economic strategy by delivering the Perth Eco Innovation Park and wider Perth West project.

“As evidenced by the extensive predevelop­ment work undertaken over the past six years and the planning applicatio­n that we are in the process of finalising, we are committed to delivering the project.

“Completing the Cherrybank developmen­t will enable much needed capital to be directed towards realising the Perth Eco Innovation Park and all the associated benefits for the city and the region.”
