Developer’s plans for 50,000 sq ft industrial space in Ossett

DEVELOPER Gregory Projects has purchased a three acre site in Ossett, near Wakefield, on which it intends to build industrial units.

The deal will result in the creation of “Ossett 40” and is one of a number currently being pursued by the Yorkshire developer, which is part of Gregory Property Group.

The site on Milner Way is located just one mile from J40 of the M1.

Historically, it was occupied by fellmongers Nettleton and Porter but more recently the buildings were demolished to make way for regeneration.

Richard Tovey, director at Gregory Projects, said: “We are pleased to secure this site – Ossett has traditionally been a popular location for occupiers with its excellent transport links and labour force.

“We see this as a good opportunity to regenerate a disused brownfield site to provide modern warehousing at a time when activity is clearly on the increase.”

The site has outline planning permission for 50,000 sq ft of industrial space – including three buildings of 8,000 sq ft 10,000 sq ft and 30,000 sq ft respectively.

The units will include offices with parking and generously sized yards and Gregory Projects intends to work closely with occupiers to create premises that cater for their specific requirements.

GVA Grimley and Gent Visick in Leeds have been jointly appointed to market the scheme.

Lutpton Fawcet Denison Till acted for Gregory Property Group on the site acquisition and Rex Procter and Partners will project manager the scheme.
