Port One Logistics Park in Ipswich has submitted the planning application for the next phase of its expansion programme.
The site will be renamed Port One Technology Park and create 500 construction site jobs during the phase two plans.
The current £250m phase one is due for completion by the end of 2026 by developer, Curzon De Vere and its contracting division.
The site is set to become a world leader in vertical farming and controlled environment soft fruit production while the park’s substantial power availability offers a unique opportunity to host vital AI data centres.
Curzon De Vere has been advancing the project since 2021 and aims to complete the entire scheme by 2032.
Matthew Slater, Managing Director of Curzon De Vere, said: “We have been working on this planning application for five years and it is one of the most detailed we have ever produced. It addresses ecology, transport and every technical aspect required, and we are confident that Port One Technology Park will become a truly unique development.
