Planners give go ahead for 660,000 sq ft of logistics space

Commercial real estate investor and developer, Firethorn Trust, has secured planning consent to build 660,000 sq ft of logistics warehousing in North Yorkshire.

The 37-acre scheme will comprise four Grade-A units, delivered to net-zero carbon in construction, next to the Sherburn Enterprise Park, outside Leeds.

With approval from Selby District Council, work on site will begin in November, with completion expected in quarter three 2023.

Paul Martin, development director at Firethorn, said: “With units ranging from 57,750 to 280,000 sq ft, Sherburn42 is set to be a significant development for the region.

“Providing a flexible, modern and sustainable space, and with excellent transport connections linking road, rail and sea, we believe the scheme offers a smart solution for businesses looking to expand their operations.

“Now we have received the green light from the council, we look forward to beginning work on site and bringing this project forward at pace.”

The scheme’s letting agents are Colliers, Lambert Smith Hampton, and Carter Towler.

Firethorn acquired the site from Glentrool Estates Group Ltd in August last year.
