Fisher German eyes sites for ecoPlant rollout

A property consultancy is helping drive expansion in the UK’s recycling and green energy sectors amid rising demand for specialist development sites.

Fisher German has secured land at Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park, in Lincolnshire, for Clean Planet Energy to develop a £35 million advanced recycling ecoPlant. 

If planning permission is approved, the facility will turn hard-to-recycle plastics into low-carbon fuels and circular plastics, aiming to significantly reduce emissions.

The Sleaford site is Clean Planet Energy’s second UK location, following its flagship ecoPlant, currently under construction in Teesside and due to open in 2026.

James Routledge, consultant to Fisher German, who led the transaction, said: “This is a significant win for both the environment and the local economy.

“Clean Planet Energy’s mission to roll out a nationwide network of ecoPlants is gaining real momentum, and we’re proud to be supporting that vision by identifying and securing strategic sites.”

Fisher German is now actively sourcing further locations to support growing client demand, targeting freehold or long leasehold sites of at least eight acres. 

Ideal plots are located near major road networks and away from residential areas, with a focus on the M62 corridor between Leeds and Manchester, and across the Midlands along the M1 and M6.

James added: “Access to robust infrastructure is essential. 

“Many of our clients require upwards of 3.25 MVA electrical power capacity and medium-pressure gas supplies.

“Land with this level of readiness can be transformational for investors looking to bring green industry and job creation to new regions.”
