Peel Logistics Property has submitted plans for a 48-acre logistics park in Sheffield.
The site, which was previously occupied by the Outokumpu Group, will comprise 838,000 sq ft of new logistics space.
Detailed planning consent, including details of access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, is sought for phase one and outline planning permission, with details of access only, is sought for phase two of the development at Shepcote Lane.
Sophie Watkin, who heads up Knight Frank’s planning team and advised on the application, said: “The masterplan will deliver a high quality and modern flagship industrial and logistics hub within a prominent location along the M1, to be branded as Peel Logistics Park, Sheffield.”
The application is subject to a 16-week determination period, meaning a decision is expected early in 2018.
Peel Logistics Property bought the land earlier this year with a view to developing the new flagship logistics park by regenerating a dormant site.
It hopes to attract both national and urban logistics occupiers to the new accommodation, which will be bespoke to occupiers needs, once agreed.
The site sits within the Sheffield City Region’s “Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District” – home to many of the world’s leading manufacturers across a variety of sectors including aerospace, defence, transportation, nuclear, oil, gas and healthcare.
Notable occupiers within the district include Rolls Royce, Boeing, Aloca, Tata, Outokumpu, McLaren and Sheffield Forgemasters, which are situated within the nearby Advanced Manufacturing Park and Sheffield Business Park.
