Assisted area status The Ellesmere Port Assisted Area is defined by 10 wards covering the entire urban area which includes Ellesmere Port town centre; major employment areas including Vauxhall Motors and the Stanlow Refinery; key existing employment sites such as Rossmore Business Park and Pioneer Business Park; and major potential employment sites including Hooton Park, Port Cheshire, Newbridge Road (including the Cabot Carbon site), and sites subject to release within the former BP Stanlow site. The area also includes housing, education, and leisure and retail attractions and embraces Cheshire Oaks. In addition there are various infill sites and land remediation opportunities. The principal benefit - an ability to offer higher levels of public assistance Assisted Area status levels the playing field with existing areas such as parts of the Liverpool City Region, which has enjoyed Assisted Area status for many years. The principal benefits of the Assisted Area are two fold in that it enables: the provision of certain forms of public sector assistance ( aid ) in respect of initial investment costs incurred by large businesses and other organisations engaged in economic activity in the Assisted Area; and higher levels of certain forms of aid to be given to businesses and other organisations engaged in economic activity than that which would be available in non-assisted areas. While Assisted Area status provides a framework for providing higher levels of support in various respects, it does not in itself provide funding resources. There are potentially a variety of funding opportunities, which may well include the Regional Growth Fund ( RGF ), the Growing Places Fund ( GPF ), and the North West Evergreen Fund, as well as the new European Structural and Investment Funds ( ESIF ) and perhaps the Local Growth Fund/Growth Deal (important components of which will be channeled through the Cheshire & Warrington LEP). Particular projects may also benefit from, for example, the Growth Accelerator programme, the Manufacturing Advisory Service, UKTI, the Skills Funding Agency, and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The Local authority would be happy to discuss Assisted Area Status in greater detail in respect of the advertised sites.
Tenure The individual sites are available on a long leasehold basis. Cheshire West and Chester Council will place an obligation upon the selected purchaser(s) to undertake the development of the site(s) within an agreed time scale. M53 J9 Terms Upon application.
