Speculative industrial unit plans win approval

Network Space Developments (NSD) has been granted planning approval by Barnsley Borough Council for the final phase at Ashroyd Business Park.

The detailed Reserved Matters approval is for a detached 94,500 sq ft unit comprising 90,000 sq ft at ground level and 4,500 sq ft of first floor office.

Once complete the building will also offer 110 car parking spaces.

Simon Peters, development director at Network Space, said: “Ashroyd Business Park is a prime industrial and logistics location on the M1 corridor close to junction 36 within easy reach of Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham.

“Demand for ‘A’ grade units of this size is high and there is a very short supply in South Yorkshire. This development will further support local economic growth and offer new job opportunities in the Barnsley area.”

Network Space recently completed five units at Ashroyd which are now fully let.

Ashroyd Business Park is just off the Dearne Valley Parkway. Existing occupiers include Universal Components, Euromax, Storefirst and SMS plc.
