What we are doing
Century Park Ltd is developing an area of 8-12 acres for industrial or logistics use (Dev 5, Dev 10)
Midland Water Ltd is developing an area of 8 acres for mixed use, retail, apartments and offices and marina.
Midland Quarry Ltd is exploring the potential of the water filled void for a diving school, diving shop, pub scuba, sailing and water skiiing. Quarry diving is a growing sport and the nearby Stoney Cove quarry diving and training school attract 60,000 visitors a year. Being spring fed Midland Quarry is particularly suitable to add to the areas locations. This is subject to leachate considerations. The alternative is to landfill the deep void with inert waste.
If the water body is sustainable then it may be possible to utilise it for tourist and residential houseboats by putting floating pontoons out into the lake.
Waste Recyling Group are bringing forward a development of 40 acres possibly for a manufacturing park adjacent to Midland Quarry at Judkins Quarry which will share the joint roundabout access.
When it is to happen
We have appointed our site manager Roy Kitson. We have opened our site office. We aim to complete infrastructure and site clearance and inert waste import by June 2004 and final phase development by 2005/06.
