Leeds warehouse scheme set for approval

By Liza Heps Property Editor Logistics Matters

THE DEVELOPMENT proposed by Scarborough Group was submitted to Leeds Council last year. It will see the development of up to 645,834 sq ft of space in 11 units ranging from 5,000 to 175,000 ft2 with four that could be sub divided to provide several, smaller starter units.

The scheme, known as Integral@Thorpe Park, is located just off Junction 46 of the M1 Motorway connecting to William Parkin Way and the East Leeds Orbital Road. It will be built to target BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.

Planning officers have recommended approval . “On the basis the site contributes towards the Council’s minimum requirement of 493 hectares of general employment land for the period of 2021-2028 and this planning application is in accordance with the site’s newly allocated employment use, officers are supportive of the principle of bringing this site forward in the terms applied for.”

Extensive landscaping is also proposed throughout the scheme with more than 40% of the site retained as green space, with public connections and rights of way to the existing amenities within Thorpe Park Leeds.
