Description

Seven Hills Business Park will comprise a 70 acre development at the intersection of the A12 and the A14. A frontage plot of approximately 2.5 acres has been reserved for roadside uses which will benefit from the extensive traffic flow on both the A14 and A12 together with the business park.

Daily traffic flows recorded on the A14 amount to 51,500 vehicles per day (2022) and on the A12 44,000 vehicles per day. The development will be accessible to both east and west bound traffic on the A14 together with the A12 which heads north/east to the Suffolk coast.

There are committed capacity improvements to J58 to be delivered via the s106 agreement for the Brightwell Lakes development, together with further improvements to the junction announced in October 2023 by Suffolk County Council as part of a £64m upgrade to the A12.

When complete the business park is forecast to create in the region of 2,600 jobs.

Seven Hills Business Park will be situated off the roundabout at junction 58 of the A14 at its intersection with the A12. The site is on the southeast fringe of Ipswich, approximately 90 miles northeast of Central London and 7 miles northwest of the Port of Felixstowe.
