Isle of Anglesey County Council has begun remediation and enabling works at the eight-acre former Eastman (Peboc) site to prepare for business units, jobs and Freeport-linked investment.
Council-owned eight-acre former Peboc site will be prepared for seven business units providing over 5,200 sq m of employment space and supporting about 140 full-time equivalent jobs.
Remediation, clearance and demolition works are now under way, funded through Anglesey Freeport seed capital and Ambition North Wales via the North Wales Growth Deal.
Read Construction is appointed to deliver the enabling works, including a new access route through Tregarnedd Industrial Estate.
# What's happening Work to bring the former Eastman (Peboc) chemical works in Llangefni back into use began earlier this month. The Isle of Anglesey County Council purchased the eight-acre brownfield site earlier in 2026 and has moved quickly to start remediation, clearance and enabling works ahead of future development.
# Why the site matters locally The site has been unused since its closure in 2008 but remains a strategic location for economic growth in Llangefni and Ynys Môn. It sits within the wider Freeport Gateway project and forms part of the Anglesey Freeport Tax Site, which the council and partners are using to position the area as an attractive location for future investment.
# What's planned Outline planning permission has been secured for seven modern business units that together provide more than 5,200 square metres of employment space. The development is modelled to support roughly 140 full‑time equivalent jobs once built out.
# Funding and partners
# Who is delivering the works Isle of Anglesey County Council has appointed Read Construction to undertake remediation, clearance and demolition works. Read Construction will also deliver a new access route through Tregarnedd Industrial Estate as part of the enabling works.
# What local leaders say
# Immediate next steps and outcomes to watch for The current phase focuses on remediation, clearance and enabling infrastructure that will unlock the site for construction of the seven business units. Watch for timelines or planning applications for detailed design and construction, announcements about tenants or investors attracted via the Freeport offer, and procurement notices for further construction or fit-out. The project's success will be judged on delivering the employment space and the circa-140 FTE jobs the outline permission envisages.
# What this means for Llangefni and Ynys Môn If delivered as outlined, the redevelopment will convert a long-vacant industrial parcel into purpose-built employment space, linked to Freeport incentives and Growth Deal funding. That combination is intended to attract businesses and investment that contribute to local job creation and help diversify the regional economy.
Long-vacant land could soon be transformed into a clean technology employment hub under new regeneration plans, developers have revealed.
