Industrial and logistics development expected to support up to 500 jobs
Proposals for a 271,750 sq ft industrial/logistics development in Sheffield have been given the go-ahead with outline planning consent.
Europa Sheffield, off Junction 34 of the M1, is expected to support up to 500 job opportunities when delivered.
It will be on Europa Way, next to Sheffield Business Park, and in the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID).
Rula Developments, which specialises in logistics and warehousing delivery, intends to demolish existing factory premises to make way for one single unit of up to 271,750 sq ft but will consider splitting the site to meet occupier demand.
Anthony Clitheroe, development director at Rula Developments, said: “We are pleased to secure planning consent for the redevelopment and regeneration of this strategically important brownfield site.
“Our plans will replace the old manufacturing building with highly sustainable new industrial space of exceptional quality, in a well-established manufacturing and logistics location, just two miles from the M1 motorway.
“We know there is significant demand for purpose-built space in the area and are considering our delivery options based on current occupier discussions.
“We are open to let or sell either one larger unit, split the site, or potentially forward fund for speculative delivery. The scheme could be delivered by quarter one 2026.”
CPP and Colliers are retained as marketing agents for the new development.
Architects, The Harris Partnership, has designed the scheme alongside Adept Consulting Engineers, and RPP while ID Planning is supported the planning application process.
Rula Developments is a privately owned commercial development company.
It has delivered 1.4 million sq ft of logistics and industrial space across 168 acres of land and has 2.5 million sq ft of development either contracted or under development.
