Commercial development approved in Leicestershire

The Harworth Group pls has secured outline planning consent from North West Leicestershire Council for over 350,000 sq ft of commercial floorspace, at its 53-acre Bardon Hill site near Coalville in Leicestershire.

The consent includes the creation of five new industrial units at the Bardon Hill site, which sits within two miles of Junction 22 of the M1, to be developed for manufacturing, distribution and roadside uses, delivering hundreds of new jobs to the East Midlands.

David Cockroft, Regional Director for the Midlands at Harworth, said: “Leicestershire is a hugely important market for Harworth, given our 2,000 home residential scheme at Coalville and the area’s strong prospects for further growth. Securing a planning consent for a site that we purchased less than eighteen months ago reflects our market-leading ability to acquire and effectively masterplan new sites for residential and commercial development. I look forward to developing out Bardon Hill and acquiring more sites to meet the Midlands’ continued need for new homes and commercial space.”

Commercial demand for the scheme is expected to be strong, given the proximity of the existing Bardon Hill Industrial Estate, whose current tenant line up includes Barratt Homes, Laura Ashley and Eddie Stobart.
