Conclusion: The 5.3 ha site is located on the edge of existing employment area close to the A580 and M57. This site provides the potential to support strategic B8 development. It can accommodate development within the short/ medium-term, subject to provision of appropriate access/ road infrastructure. Land to the East of Knowsley Industrial and Business Park 
7.2 ha site located on the eastern edge of Knowsley Industrial Park near Kirkby. The site is located on the A580 close to the junction with the M57 (Junction 4). The site is a greenfield site which is largely undeveloped and is currently under agricultural use. The site fronts directly onto the A580 although site access is currently via Ormskirk Road. A new site access would be required alongside development. The land forms part of a wider employment allocation for 31.4 ha of land made within the Knowsley Core Strategy (comprising this land and land to the north of the A580), which is identified as having a notional capacity for 7.2 ha of employment development. This comprises land removed from the Green Belt. The site is bounded to the east by open agricultural land which is designated Green Belt. Development of the site would have to be sensitive to landscape and visual impact issues. The site benefits from a strong location which is accessible from the city region’s key road network; and good public transport accessibility. It is visually prominent from the A580. Conclusion: Prominent, well located greenfield site, 7.2 ha in size, with development potential in short/ medium-term, which provides the potential to support strategic B8 development. Land at Academy Business Park 
Existing employment site within Knowsley Industrial Park. The site, 5.0 ha in size, currently contains a number of warehouse units. At the date of assessment, one unit appeared to be occupied. The other units were being advertised to let. The current site comprises 8 units, some of which are subdivided, being advertised to let, sizes ranging from 5,000 – 361,000 sq ft. The quality of the existing buildings is reasonable. The units are long and thin and provide limited loading areas or dedicated lading bays. This makes the existing units less attractive to larger scale distribution uses. Orbit Developments have planning consent (14/00787/FUL) for demolition of the existing units and redevelopment to provide two 10,219 sq.m units (Use Classes B1c,B2, B8 and ancillary B1a). The advertised units both contain considerable loading areas, dedicated loading bays, and HGV trailer storage space. Planning permission was granted in January 2015.
