Network Space Developments (NSD) has secured reserved matters planning permission for 152,000 sq ft of new warehousing and distribution units on a 30-acre site on Newmarket Lane, Wakefield.
The scheme will comprise 12 commercial units of varying sizes offering flexible storage space with offices. The planning consent also covers a new access road onto Newmarket Lane along with car parking, service yards, landscaping and ancillary road and drainage infrastructure.
