Whilst residential and industrial development within the drainage district has been significant it is the industrial development which is most significant increasing the national importance of the area at the same time changing the landscape.
Among the numerous drainage districts in England and Wales, that administered by the North East Lindsey Drainage Board has the greatest concentration of industry including petro chemical plants and other major industrial complexes.
The standard of flood protection and drainage provides, within the district, an area which continues to attract considerable development. Alongside long established industry, more recent developments include Yorkshire Forwards 52 hectare Business Park at Grimsby, Humber Powers power station at Stallingborough and Conoco Global’s combined heat and power plant at South Killingholme. The three combine to represent an investment of about £1 Billion.
