Over the next 23 years, our challenge is how we facilitate growth and investment, manage and deliver the benefits of new investment and meet the needs of local businesses. Blackpool needs little introduction as a mainstream tourist destination. World famous for the Blackpool Tower, the Golden Mile, three distinctive piers, seven miles of golden sandy beaches, the Illuminations and the biggest portfolio of visitor attractions outside London. Blackpool is well-known and well-loved and remains the UK’s most popular seaside resort with over 18 million visitors a year. What is less known is the billion pound regeneration and investment programme that is taking place across Blackpool. Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone is just one of several, high profile, multi-million pound schemes. More than £570m has already been invested over the past decade to transform Blackpool, including improvements to the promenade, creating engaging public spaces, investment in our historic attractions in particular Blackpool Tower and the Winter Gardens and improvements in the tramways and sea defences. Many new schemes are in the pipeline that will continue to revitalise Blackpool town centre and Blackpool Council is dedicated to delivering the next phase of Blackpool’s £1 billion Growth & Prosperity Programme, which is looking to attract greater levels of investment for further success. Further investment in Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone will support the continuing transformation of Blackpool. It is vital that we develop modern, quality employment space that reflects the needs of today’s industries and demonstrates a forward-thinking dynamic image of Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, as a serious contender and game changer for North West commerce. To ensure the Enterprise Zone has a significant, positive impact on the local area, we will be proactive, listening to and working with, existing owner/occupiers on the site and our neighbours. We will create more sustainable long terms jobs and skills for the people of the Fylde Coast and help them to get the training they need locally. Future growth depends on the approach we take at this early stage of development. Getting core infrastructure right from the offset and how we manage resources, will be a key factor in the overall success of the Enterprise Zone. The government clearly sets out long term objectives for Enterprise Zones across the UK and this guidance from government will also play a key role in the successful delivery of the site. In this Masterplan we set out the context for delivery and growth. We have identified challenges, opportunities and actions needed for each element of the development, that will play a unique and important part in realising the overall vision for the site. This Masterplan sets out the vision of how the Enterprise Zone may develop through a collaboration of public and private sector over the coming years, underpinned by substantial investment by Blackpool Council. We are passionate about making Blackpool a key player and an important employment destination of the future and we are committed to maximising the economic and social benefits available to us that will make Blackpool and the Fylde Coast a better place to live, work and do business. Neil Jack, Chief Executive, Blackpool Council 3 Lancashire Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Cluster BLACKPOOL AIRPORT ENTERPRISE ZONE INTRODUCTION Blackpool South Squires Gate Established in April 2016, Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone is a 144 hectare site and is one of the largest in the UK. Over its 25 year lifespan it will transform the economic base of Blackpool & the Fylde Coast and position itself as a premier business location in the North West. It is one of four Enterprise Zones in Lancashire which combine into one world-class and overarching investment destination – the Lancashire Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Cluster (LAMEC) – a key part of the Northern Powerhouse Industrial Strategy. The site sits on the Fylde Coast and is dominated by two key features, the airport at the western end of the Enterprise Zone and the former Wellington Bomber Factory at the north-eastern corner of the site. Straddling the boundary between the Borough of Fylde (55%) and Blackpool (45%), the site is centred on the existing Squires Gate and Blackpool Business Park employment areas and the fully operational CAT 3 Blackpool Airport. Blackpool Council purchased Blackpool Airport in September 2017 making the Council the majority landowner on the Enterprise Zone. 4 Blackpool North BLACKPOOL M55 JUNCTION 4 & M6 CGI Aerial of the Masterplan 5 Kendal Lancashire Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Cluster BLACKPOOL AIRPORT ENTERPRISE ZONE Barrow-in-Furness Morecambe Lancaster 34 Heysham Port M6 LANCASHIRE FLEETWOOD Fleetwood Keighley Leeds 14 44 13 Bradford 45 12 Airport M55 32 3 1 47 Blackpool 4 11 10 Leeds 46 9 M6 M65 8 45 A1(M) 31 Samlesbury 7 M621 Preston 6 44 B5268 M606 Blackpool 30 Blackburn 26 28 Warton 29 Airport 5 30 29 29 3 4 1 31 32a M1 M62 32 28 M65 25 33 8 24 23 Southport M6 Huddersfield A1 1 M66 M62 CLEVELEYS38 M61 Bury 21 27 2 20 3 38 6 Bolton 19 M1 A1(M) 5 Barnsley 37 Wigan 4 M58 3 4 19 37 5 26 3 17 20 Oldham A585 16 1 21 Bolton upon 15 22 1 Deane 14 25 36 7 M6 Manchester 36 12 24 1 2 3 23 6 11 M57 23 M18 4 M62 10 24 3 35 3 22 M67 Liverpool 2 11 10 25 10 M60 6 M1 34 M62 21A 26 1 Superport 9 5 27 5 6 7 1 4 2 33 32 2 21 3 2 1 3 Warrington M60M 32 Liverpool 4 Sheeld 3 5 31 20 8 7 6 9 4 Manchester Liverpool 10 Benlech 11 Airport A585 Hollyhead John Lennon 12 19 5 6 Airport M53 7 8 M6 30 9 Anglesey Beaumaris M56 14 Llangefni 10 Llanfairfechan Southern Bypass 11 15 M1 Bangor 12 Chester 18 Llanrwst 17 Ruthin POULTON M6 16 Nantwich LE FYLDE Wrexham Stoke Corwen On-trent Llangollen Situated on a major trunk road a few15 minutes drive from Junction 4 of the Stone M55, the Enterprise Zone provides BLACKPOOL easy access to the national motorway 14 Staord network.

  • Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone: Update
    Report to: Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Economic Prosperity Board Report Author: Rob Green, Head of Enterprise Zones, Blackpool Council Date of Meeting: 25 March 2021 BLACKPOOL AIRPORT ENTERPRISE ZONE: UPDATE 1.0 Purpose of the report: 1.1 To review the work of the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone and its future work and priorities against its role and remit. 2.0 Recommendation(s) 2.1 To note the report. 3.0 Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone: Progress Report a) Masterplan The Enterprise Zone masterplan and delivery plans have now been refreshed to reflect the new development since 2016. The updated reports were presented to Blackpool’s Executive and approved in December 2020 reflecting the impact of changes in third party ownership across the site, requirements for changes required to satisfy Sport England and address Highway and transportation concerns. An online public consultation is to be undertaken in respect of the refreshed masterplan and the supporting written document, with any significant amendments as a result of feedback reported back to Blackpool Council, the Economic Prosperity Board and Local Enterprise Partnership for endorsement. This consultation will be run in parallel with a pre-application consultation on the third Common Edge planning application, which will cover the new Highways and the development of the former sports pitches. Timing will be dependent upon on restrictions prior to the local elections in May. The updated delivery plan estimates expenditure on infrastructure and delivery of the Enterprise Zone at £72m, which equates to £14,500 per job. With the benefit of a grant funding allocation of £7.5m secured from the Towns Fund as part of Blackpool’s Town Deal, the financial projections indicate a small forecast surplus over the lifetime of the project after the cost of Prudential Borrowing.
