Logistics scheme secures Local Plan site allocation 

By Liza Helps Property Editor Logistics Matters

THE PROMOTER of the 60 acre site, known locally as Brown Moor, is Scarborough Group International.

Last year Logistics Matters reported that the developer had submitted an outline planning application for up to 645,834 ft2 of space in 11 units ranging from 5,000 to 175,000 ft2.

The scheme, known as Integral@Thorpe Park, is located adjacent to Thorpe Park, 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.

Integral will retain the vast majority of the established woodland and hedgerows across the site, while adding to these with new green spaces and landscaping corridors to seamlessly connect into the existing amenities and public rights of way within the adjacent Thorpe Park Leeds, The Springs, and local conurbations to the East and West of the site

SGI, Development Director Adam Varley, said: “The logistics sector is one of the fastest growing areas of employment in the UK and our plans and proposals for the scheme will deliver against a tight supply of prime space within West Yorkshire designed to cater for sustainable business practice.”

According to SCI the scheme has the potential to support around 1,700 new jobs.
