Sherburn2 has secured detailed planning permission for 515,990 sqft of prime logistics and manufacturing space, with a gross development value of £64 m.
Family-owned, Yorkshire property company Glentrool Estates Group Limited is transforming the 100-acre Sherburn2 at Junction 42 of the A1(M) into a first-class logistics and manufacturing park. Collectively, the £159 million development will create over 1715 quality, sustainable, full-time equivalent jobs.
The Reserved Matters detailed planning permission for the North and South phases of Sherburn2 will open the remaining 30 acres.
The South phase (S2 374) can accommodate up to a single unit of 374,000 sqft, whilst the North phase (S2 North) will provide 141,990 sqft in 9 units with sizes from 2,850 sqft to 48,330 sqft.
The development will boast strong sustainability credentials with extensive landscaping, including new combined cycle and footpaths, communal areas, a woodland walk and an Excellent BREEAM target.
Construction is complete on the adjacent £95m, 660,000 sqft East phase, with a new letting to global building supplier Sika Ltd of 280,663 sqft and a unit of 131,830 sqft under offer.
Director of Glentrool Estates Group Limited, Jeremy Nolan, said, “With the growing success of the East phase, there is real momentum and pent-up demand for the locality. Glentrool Estates Group Limited has invested in the site’s infrastructure, and this permission for the North and South phases will accelerate delivery for occupiers. Sherburn will be a strong, sustainable community with the delivery of much-needed jobs and housing.
The granting of the Reserved Matters application of the final phase reinforces the regional importance of this significant employment site which complements the emerging housing supply and large, skilled workforce in the Selby District.
The continued success of Sherburn2 reflects its superb location, quality of product, and Glentrool’s proven track record of delivering buildings that cater to the forward-thinking occupier.
With the completion of the Spine Road in May 2023, S2 North and S2 374 are gearing up for delivery; we anticipate high levels of interest in the variety and flexibility of space available.”
Cllr. Mark Crane, North Yorkshire Council Executive Member for Open to Business, said, “ We welcome this investment into the Sherburn2 site, which will bring significant new business and employment into North Yorkshire. Through the work of our economic development and planning teams, we’ve had a long and positive relationship with Glentrool to unlock the potential of this site. We applaud the commitment to sustainable design and see great potential for this premier logistics and manufacturing park to attract high-quality jobs to the area”
Colliers and Carter Towler are the appointed agents for S2 North and S2 374.
Josh Holmes of Carter Towler said, “It is excellent news that Glentrool Estates Group have secured planning permission for this key site. The market continues to be characterised by demand materially outstripping supply. The lack of supply of quality new premises, particularly in the mid-box sector within West and North Yorkshire, is a major frustration to the expansion plans of many of the region’s companies. We are certain that they will be occupied very quickly once these units are brought to market.”
