Clowes submits Derbyshire warehouse plan
Clowes Developments has submitted plans for a large industrial/distribution warehouse scheme in South Derbyshire.
The firm, which is based at Ednaston, near Ashbourne, has put forward plans for the 190,000 sq ft building at Dove Valley Park, off the A50, near Foston.
The application seeks a two-phase planning consent for an initial speculatively built unit of up to 150,000 sq ft, with a future expansion option for an additional 40,000 sq ft.
Available on a freehold or leasehold basis, potential occupiers will have the option to extend the premises, as and when their business requires.
Dove Valley Park is already home to a number of top names, including JCB Power Systems, Futaba International, Tophat, Truma and Kuehne and Nagel.
Paul Shanley, director at Clowes Developments, said: “With over 1,200 people employed on Dove Valley Park and demand for ‘big sheds’ breaking new records, we are pleased to be going forward with the next development providing flexibility for occupiers in both size and tenure.
“Dove Valley Park is now a well-established business park attracting household names.
“We are currently negotiating another large deal on the site, which will further enhance its reputation as South Derbyshire’s premier employment site.”
