Green light for Keyland development creating 250 jobs

SISTER company of Yorkshire water, Keyland Developments, has been given the go-ahead for an industrial scheme that will create 250 jobs.

Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council has given the firm the green light to develop a 90,000 sq ft site on Little Lane.

The site is behind an existing Yorkshire Water treatment works, surrounded by industrial developments.

Peter Garrett, managing director of Keyland Developments Ltd, said; “We are delighted to have secured planning approval for this strategic site which is within an employment policy area in the Doncaster Unitary Development Plan.

“The planning consent will enable this underutilised site to be transformed into a job-creating, high-quality development which can make a positive contribution to the local area by attracting inward investment and creating employment opportunities.”

Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank’s Sheffield office, commented; “The well-documented shortage of industrial land and accommodation in South Yorkshire makes sites such as this very attractive propositions.

“The scale, positioning and capabilities of the site, combined with the planning in place, will undoubtedly attract strong levels of interest.”
