Timeframe
Full planning was received in November 2011 for a Research/Business Park (Class B1 development), a hotel, restaurant/public house and crèche and a residential development of up to 150 homes.
Work on the infrastructure will begin in August 2012 and will be completed by spring 2013.
Innovation Centre
The vision for the proposed Innovation Centre is to create a space that will bring together a range of technology companies - embryonic start ups, SMEs, larger companies looking for a satellite office and businesses providing commercial services and support for the technology based sector. The Innovation Centre will offer these businesses good quality, purpose built, cost effective accommodation and access to central facilities, business support and services.

Research Park
Haverhill Research Park will offer up to 450,000 square feet of office and research and development space. The Class B1 (Business) type properties will be available to occupy on a pre let or sale basis.
Hotel
A 40-80 bedroom hotel development situated on a 0.7 acre plot is included in the Master plan. The hotel will provide convenient accommodation for visitors to the businesses located on the Research Park. The hotel will be close to the family pub/restaurant and will have allocated parking and landscaped grounds.
Family Pub/Restaurant
A family pub and restaurant is planned for a 0.8 acre site. The pub/restaurant, which will have allocated parking and a garden area, will front the A1307 giving it excellent visibility to passing trade. The pub/restaurant will offer both business and commercial residents a suitable venue for eating out.
Homes
A new residential development of 150 quality homes is planned on an 8.24 acre site. The new housing will be ready for occupation from mid 2013. Contracts have been exchanged with Taylor Wimpey East Anglia in July for this site development.
Crèche
A crèche/ nursery facility is planned. Located at the heart of the development the central location will make it easily accessible for employees of the businesses based on the park, residents of the park and surrounding residential areas.
