BARNSLEY COUCIL agreed to a resolution to grant following a planning committee meeting on 18^th February. Planning officers had already recommended the 211-acre scheme for approval as reported by Logistics Matters https://www.logisticsmatters.co.uk/Yorkshire-logistics-scheme-set-approval

Newlands Developments announced the news on LinkedIn stating that: “We look forward to continuing to work with key local stakeholders to deliver significant social value via our commitment to Employment and Skills Plans.”

This best-in-class development will generate up to 3,200 new jobs, £210m GVA per annum, and upgrade local bus services and active travel infrastructure.

Over 95 acres will be dedicated to new landscaping, which will result in a substantial biodiversity net gain. This includes planting over 650 trees and 6,500m of new hedgerows and enhancing the ecological wildlife corridor alongside Carr Dike.

The scheme located south of Dearne Valley Parkway in Goldthorpe will comprise four development plots capable of accommodating units ranging from 345,000 ft2 to 840,000 ft2.

Joint letting agents for the scheme known as Linkway Barnsley are JLL, CBRE and Knight Frank.
