  • Enhanced structure and buildings allowances
  • National insurance rate relief
  • Business rate relief
  • Local retention of business rates

Hull East zone, part of the Humber Freeport, provides a portfolio of deliverable development sites in the port and its hinterland, totalling 198ha and includes ABP's International Enterprise Park, the Yorkshire Energy Park, Saltend Chemicals Park and the Eastern portion of the Port of Hull.

A new hydrogen plant is proposed within this zone, as well as the opportunity to decarbonise Saltend Chemicals Plant and create exportable surplus hydrogen and decarbonised products. The Yorkshire Energy Park offers immediate development opportunities, including incubation spaces.
