A business park group close to the M6, M65 and M61 at Bamber Bridge is set to expand.
The £15million proposals would demolish the current Sapphire Utilities site and replace it with a new business park.
Tabled by Roundhouse Properties the scheme is to be known as ‘Momentum Plus’ and builds on the existing South Preston Office Village, South Rings Office Village and the existing Momentum business parks close to the A6 at Bamber Bridge.

The 3.7 acre site – currently occupied by Sapphire Utilities in Cuerden Way near Matalan and Aldi – will see nine new commercial blocks with 50 units in each.
Managing director of Roundhouse Properties Jeremy Lefton said: “Our Momentum schemes have proved to be incredibly popular with SMEs, and with this site, we’re enhancing that model with the addition of larger commercial space alongside our traditional-size units you’ll find on a Momentum business park.
“If plans are approved, we’ll demolish existing buildings and create a modern business park, which will facilitate economic growth in the area by creating an attractive location with a mix of units for new and growing businesses.”
Work is due to start on site in early 2026 if plans are approved by South Ribble Borough Council.
