Alness occupies a strategic location on the A9 Trunk road, approximately 21 miles north of Inverness and in close proximity to key infrastructure within the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport. Alness Point Business Park sits between Highland Deephaven and the Port of Cromarty Firth and the Port of Nigg, with an attractive location on the south side of the A9, overlooking the Cromarty Firth, with a high quality core environment. Alness Point Business Park is served by public transport and is close to Alness and Invergordon, as well as being in commuting distance of Inverness.
The subjects are located within the boundaries of the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport, which has several potential benefits, such as tax relief and supportive planning. The local economy is expected to grow significantly due to the benefits associated with the Freeport.
The subjects comprise a range of sites which form part of the Alness Point Business Park. The Business Park has already been partly developed and has a mix of office, educational and light industrial uses. Surrounding occupiers include a variety of public, private and academic organisations. A Deed of Condition is in place with regard to maintenance of the common parts and the Business Park has the benefit of a high quality landscaped entrance with extensive amenity areas.
Green Freeports in Scotland are a key initiative designed to boost economic growth, create jobs, and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. These freeports are special economic zones that benefit from tax incentives, simplified customs procedures, and a commitment to sustainability. Alness Point Business Park is strategically placed to potentially benefit from the Green Freeports initiative, particularly as it aligns with regional development goals and the broader objectives of the Scottish Government.
