Three new state-of-the-art industrial and manufacturing units are out of the ground at Dunsbury Park, Havant, with frames up and cladding and fit out underway, totalling 77,000 sq ft across the three units.

Dunsbury Park is the first shovel-ready tax site in the Solent Freeport and has seen strong early interest from potential occupiers keen to benefit from the prime southeast location as well as a generous package of tax incentives. Freeport status has been formally approved by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, it provides business rates relief for five years, 100 per cent capital allowance on plant and machinery, no stamp duty tax on leases and relief from employers National Insurance for three years.

In close proximity to Portsmouth International Port, Dunsbury Park can offer the complete logistics package for businesses looking to import or export international and European cargo. Certain businesses will also be able to benefit from the advantages of the port’s customs site, which can provide tariff-free movement of goods.

The three new units at the Portsmouth City Council-owned site will target the highest environmental standards with a BREEAM Excellent rating – only achieved on around 10 per cent of new development in the UK.
