“With the results in, we welcome the renewed confidence and stability the sector will have in the wake of the election. The new Labour Government has made bold commitments to continue to support the UK’s science and tech capabilities. We want to work closely in partnership with Peter Kyle and his team going forward, to realise the built environment’s potential in unlocking economic growth.
“Milton Park’s ten-day Local Development Order is an example of that collaboration in practice. A streamlined planning process, it has seen a joined-up approach across local government, innovation clusters and the built environment, which allows Milton Park and its occupiers to quickly capitalise on growth opportunities.
“When partnerships like those work, they can truly turbocharge the UK’s world-leading R&D capabilities, and strengthen the demand for flexible laboratory and commercial space across the UK’s innovation ecosystem.”
Philip Campbell, Commercial Director at MEPC
