Keyland Developments has secured planning permission for a circa 130,000 sq ft industrial development at its North Bierley water treatment works site in West Yorkshire.
Combined with the phase one Interchange 26 development at the water treatment works, which secured planning permission in 2016 and was subsequently sold to Opus North, the site will deliver more than 500,000 sq f of new industrial and employment space.
Matthew Turnbull, planning and development manager at Keyland Developments, said: “Securing planning permission for phase two at the North Bierley site is a major achievement. This site will make a significant contribution to addressing the major shortfall in employment land across West Yorkshire, which is particularly acute in the western districts where a lack of land allocations and challenging levels make it harder for local businesses to find the space we need.
“We are committed to making best use of the region’s brownfield resource to address local needs and this development will bring a number of economic advantages to the north Kirklees and south Bradford area.”
