Citrus Durham has submitted plans for the next £340 million phase of development at its Integra 61 mixed-use development at J61 of the A1(M).
Following a recent public consultation process, an outline planning application has been submitted to Durham County Council to create an extension.
The extension will be to the west of the Integra 61 scheme to accommodate a further 3 million ft² of employment space.
The first phase of the existing £400m Integra 61 development, which includes 3 million ft² of developable space, is already 90% complete.
Investment into the second phase could see some 300 new jobs being created in the North East throughout the build and operational stages.
The submitted application is in outline. Latter reserved matters applications will evolve the exact design and scale which will all have to be within the principles sought to be established now.
The new development in its latter stages would require the delivery of the Bowburn Development Route (relief road) in conjunction with Durham County Council.
Integra 61 is already home to Amazon’s 2 million ft² fulfilment centre, a further 640,000ft² of speculative logistics space at Connect at Integra 61 and a portfolio including Costa and Greggs along with an incoming £4m EG On The Move petrol station with a convenience store and separate Starbucks drive-thru.
Tesla has also installed 19 new Superchargers on site. Construction is well underway on Marton Care’s new 73 bedroom care home facility to complement the 260 new homes already developed by Persimmon and Bellway.
Regional director at Citrus, James Taylor, said: “We are delighted to have now submitted this significant planning application for the second phase of Integra 61, building on the success of phase one and firmly establishing Integra as a premier business location in the region.
“Securing planning consent is an important early stage in the journey to bringing this phase to fruition and we look forward to working with all stakeholders during this process.”
