Overview
The Science Park will provide services for knowledge intensive firms and enable the development of new businesses.
Our 24 hectare site will offer extensive new facilities to encourage enterprise, science, and research and development. We will provide high quality, flexible space for businesses ranging in size from start-ups to major corporate headquarters, as well as hotel and conferencing facilities, central business support, and local services.
We aim to make the Science Park into a thriving community enjoying strong connections with the Met Office, the University of Exeter, the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Innovation Centre, which provides start-up units for new knowledge-intensive businesses.
Sustainability is key to the Science Park’s lasting success. Our proposal aims to deliver a development that not only creates jobs and improves the economy, but which brings benefits to the environment and local communities.
Encouraging regional growth
The Science Park development also enables much needed major improvements to Junction 29 of the M5, which will allow Exeter and East Devon to reach their full potential.
A significant part of the Exeter and East Devon New Growth Point initiative, the Science Park acts as a signpost to additional proposed future developments including: Skypark, the new community at Cranbrook, the Intermodal Freight Terminal, and expansion of Exeter International Airport.
Masterplan
The masterplan ( 
14.2mb) represents a broad consensus on the best way to design and implement a science park on the eastern side of Exeter. It reflects the aspirations of the project partners and their desire to create a unique environment for innovation and investment that will strengthen the regional economy and the role Exeter plays in it.
The supplementary planning document ( 4.1mb) for the Science Park develops the proposals set out in the masterplan report.
