Vacant Commercial Sites and Premises Database

As part of the Council’s brief to encourage employment and enterprise in Copeland, the Economic Development and Tourism section has introduced an online search facility which allows access to a database of vacant commercial sites and premises in the area.

The database is produced by Copeland Borough Council in collaboration with local commercial property agents and provides information on industrial/ commercial sites and premises available within the district. All enquirers are recommended to contact the relevant agents for full details.

Online Search: Commercial Site and Premises

Our interactive system allows you to search for business sites and premises available by your chosen criteria, including: location, size and property type.

The Employment Land and Premises Register can be accessed in the following ways:

We will/can then customise a search and respond with a list of suitable sites and premises. By completing and submitting the enquiry form you agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy

The database is available as a printed document that is updated quarterly. To receive a copy by post please complete and submit the request form on the contact us page.

 

Copeland Overview

Copeland has a diverse economy, providing employment in a wide range of businesses and organisations. There are a large number of dynamic medium sized firms and a growing service sector. Development sites, employment opportunities, business parks and industrial estates are located across the borough and the residential environment is attractive, with easy access to open country and the hills.

A key objective of the Council is to seek inward investment in those employment sectors for which there are positive benefits to the Copeland economy. This includes tourism; telecommunications based employment, bio and environmental technologies and food processing.

The nuclear supply chain is also a key inward investment and business expansion growth sector and opportunities will arise now that the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency has its headquarters in Copeland.

Situated on the west coast of Cumbria the Borough of Copeland neighbours the districts of Allerdale, Barrow in Furness and South Lakeland and covers an area of about 284 square miles, two thirds of which lies within the Lake District National Park.

With a total population of approximately 70,000, it stretches along the West Cumbria coast from just north of Whitehaven down to Millom in the south.

The majority of the population lives in the narrow coastal strip of which Whitehaven is the main settlement. The main road and rail links extend along the coastal belt. The A595 joins the A66 to provide a northerly link to the M6 motorway at junction 40 and the A590 links South Copeland with Kendal and the M6.
