Harworth Group has secured a resolution to grant planning permission for the development of a £190m GDV rail-connected industrial and logistics hub at its 185-acre Gascoigne Interchange site in Leeds.
The company will deliver up to 1.5m sq ft of industrial and logistics space on the site across seven Grade A units ranging from 57,000 sq ft to 1m sq ft.
The site, which is accessed via junction 42 of the A1(M), has an extensive collection of rail sidings on either side of Network Rail’s Leeds to Hull main line route, with current operational connections into the northern and southern plots on the site. The rail access to the north of the site offers scope to create a dedicated railhead serving the buildings on site.
Lynda Shillaw, chief executive at Harworth, said: “Our development at Gascoigne Interchange is another example of Harworth’s unique ability to identify, acquire and transform brownfield sites to generate value, create jobs and increase investment in the region. This development complements Harworth’s extensive pipeline of industrial and logistics sites and we continue to see high demand for high-specification strategically-connected Grade A industrial space.”
Harworth is expecting to make a start on site in 2025.
