Harworth Group has gained a resolution from Amber Valley Council to grant outline planning consent for the development of a 1.5 million sq ft industrial and logistics site and up to 300 new homes at its Cinderhill development in Derbyshire.
Located adjacent to the A38, the Cinderhill site has a long history of industrial uses, including an iron foundry and opencast coal extraction.
The group’s proposal includes land remediation, site servicing and installation of high-quality infrastructure to facilitate the construction of Grade A commercial units.
Once completed, the regeneration of the site is expected to create over 1,000 new jobs with the entire scheme designed to support sustainable living and good connections via cycle paths, footways and bus routes.
Lynda Shillaw, Haworth group chief executive, said: “The receipt of planning at Cinderhill is a significant milestone as this complex site has involved careful masterplanning over the years alongside collaboration with a number of different stakeholders.
“This achievement highlights our specialist skillset and track record of securing planning and regenerating former industrial land. We look forward to playing a part in the delivery of a high-quality sustainable scheme in a region which has a strong manufacturing and logistics presence and where Harworth continues to see strong demand for our serviced land products.”
