Gregory Properties (Leeds) has secured planning approval to deliver 124,700 sq ft of industrial and logistics space at Rockingham in Barnsley.
The 10-acre site, to be known as Green Barnsley business park, is on the A6195 Dearne Valley Parkway with direct motorway access to Junction 36 of the M1.
The developer plans to speculatively build out the scheme, which consists of three warehouses measuring 25,560 sq ft, 43,000 sq ft and 56,140 sq ft. Each building will feature first-floor office space, secure service yards and institutional HGV loading provision and eaves heights.
Construction on site is set to begin in summer and the scheme is expected to be ready for occupation by Easter 2024.
Knight Frank has been appointed to market the scheme.
Iain McPhail, partner at Knight Frank, said: “On the ESG front, these will not be the usual grey boxes, they will be much more sympathetic to the surrounding natural landscape and complement the local area with neutral green tones. They are also set in generous landscaping, backing onto woodland.”
Harry Orwin-Allen, a senior surveyor at Knight Frank, added: “The industrial and distribution sector across Yorkshire continues to be buoyant, with demand from a range of sectors. The proposed development at Rockingham will help to provide occupiers with much needed, immediately available premises within a stone’s throw of Junction 36 of the M1.”
