  • 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.
