Plans have been submitted for a new £10million development near Glasgow.

The planning application - which has been put forward by Fusion Assets - is for an employment hub with industrial space for up to 10 businesses in Ravenscraig, North Lanarkshire.

Fusion Assets was established by North Lanarkshire Council to promote regeneration and encourage economic development in the area.

The latest planning proposal at Ravenscraig proposes a variety of flexible industrial buildings for businesses, with three single-occupied buildings for larger businesses, and a fourth building which would be divided into seven units for smaller operations.

The firm says the units would be suitable for classes four, five, and six use, covering office space, industrial activity, distribution, and storage.

Located opposite the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, the site covers seven acres and is part of SevenFourEight - Scotland's newest production and logistics location in the area.

Following Ravenscraig Limited's land sale to Fusion Assets in 2022, enabling works have already been completed in the area including earthworks, platforming to level the site, and drainage infrastructure.

SevenFourEight is part of the approved Ravenscraig regeneration area allocated for employment users.

Russell Wilkie, Director at Ravenscraig Limited, said, “Ravenscraig is one of Europe’s largest regeneration and community creation initiatives, building a self-sufficient community with high-quality housing, transport links, education and employment opportunities.

“As part of the masterplan, SevenFourEight is Ravenscraig’s employment area and will soon become Scotland’s best connected industrial space, ideally located between Scotland’s two main motorways, the M74 and M8.

"With the prep work already complete, this planning application takes Fusion Assets closer to becoming the first developer onsite, delivering new facilities and opportunities to local businesses in North Lanarkshire.”

Murray Collins, MD of Fusion Assets, added: “Fusion Assets is committed to breathing new life into North Lanarkshire, transforming neighbourhoods to encourage investment and growth.

"Ravenscraig is a historic site and a future economic powerhouse, and our plans align the company’s development activities with the strategic regeneration priorities of North Lanarkshire Council.

"In response to high demand for modern premises and very limited supply, the new development will provide a range of flexible space for businesses, bringing jobs and opportunities to Ravenscraig and North Lanarkshire.”
