PLANNING permission has been secured for a £200m business park in Sheffield City Region.
The Harworth South scheme could become home to 3,500 jobs on a 200-acre site south of the former Harworth colliery.
Plans are for 2.5m sq ft of business units that could provide a £600m boost to the local economy.
Dan Mitchell, partner at planning and design consultancy Barton Willmore, said: “Harworth and Bircotes is a growth location and we are pleased that the Council has supported these ambitious plans.
“This project represents a real opportunity for the A1(M) corridor to capture some of the lost economic development to the M1.”
Max Howard, director at developers Howard (Retford), added: “The scheme will provide much needed new jobs. We have already commenced discussions with occupiers and their key requirement is to have a site with permission that is oven ready to go. We look forward now to advancing the scheme and supporting the region’s economic growth.”
The Harworth South business park project is receiving agency advice from Paul White of Brown & Co. Barton Willmore provided town planning, masterplanning, landscape and EIA services.
