UP to 750 jobs could be created if plans for an office development in North Yorkshire are approved.
Developers have submitted an outline planning application to build nine office buildings on a five-acre site at Huntington, York.
The Monks Cross Partnership is planning two three-storey buildings and seven two-storey buildings in what would be the fifth phase of a continuing construction project which has already generated more than 1,000 jobs.
Work could start late next year or in early 2009 - but already two companies in professional and financial services have expressed an interest in moving in.
The offices would have solar power to heat the water and light the car park, wind turbines and ground source heat recovery pumps.
Len Cruddas, chief executive of York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said the scheme underlined the strength of the local economy in general and of professional services and related businesses in particular.
