Description
Durham County Council are seeking a Joint Venture Partner to develop the council owned
Aykley Heads site, as a catalyst for the new Durham Innovation District.
The 15ha site is within single council ownership; has outline planning permission for 39,000
square metres of commercial floorspace for up to 4,000 jobs. It sits within a wider 60ha area
of the city that is the emerging Durham Innovation District, encompassing the new University
Business School and Milburngate, a 450,000 sq ft mixed-use development.
Aykley Heads and the Durham Innovation District will provide a platform to maximise the
benefits of economic growth. It will identify key areas of opportunity, including research and
advanced manufacturing, green jobs, electronics, digital and creative, fintech, life sciences
and satellite applications sectors. Inward investment will also be directly focused on these
specialisms and ecosystems to create sustainable supply chains and jobs across the county
and beyond.
Although the Joint Venture will initially focus on the Aykley Heads location, the JV scope (of
goods, works and services) may be expanded in the future to cover wider County Durham
area opportunities in order to support the strategic objectives of the Council and it's
Partners.
