Clowes Developments has received reserved matters planning consent from Ashfield District Council to deliver over 500,000 sq ft of new commercial and industrial space at Harrier Park, Hucknall.
The milestone approval paves the way for the development of six high-quality commercial/industrial units ranging in size from 60,000 sq ft (5,574 sq m) to 206,000 sq ft (19,138 sq m). The units will be delivered across two plots within the 31-acre site, which is currently undergoing remediation and preparatory works to ready the former brownfield land for its transformative redevelopment.
The planning consent follows Clowes’ successful acquisition of the historic Harrier Park site in 2024 and the recent launch of the comprehensive, multi-million-pound enabling groundworks programme.
Located on the former Rolls-Royce aerospace site, Harrier Park represents one of the most significant regeneration opportunities in Nottinghamshire. The new development will support local economic growth and job creation, bringing prime industrial and logistics space to a high-demand regional market.
Clowes Developments is now well-positioned to commence delivery of the newly approved units at Harrier Park. The development is designed to accommodate a diverse range of occupiers, including those in the manufacturing, logistics, and distribution sectors.
Kevin Webster, Associate Director at Clowes Developments, commented:
“ Securing planning permission is a significant step forward for Harrier Park. We’re transforming a landmark site into a vibrant commercial hub that will deliver lasting economic benefits to Hucknall and the wider Ashfield area. With enabling works already underway, we are committed to progressing the scheme at pace and attracting top-tier occupiers to the development.”
Harrier Park is strategically located with excellent connectivity to the M1 and East Midlands Airport. It lies outside the Nottingham Workplace Parking Levy zone and benefits from an established tram network, with a terminus located close by. These advantages make Harrier Park an ideal location for businesses looking to establish or expand their operations in the Midlands.
Uniquely, Clowes Developments has also secured a total of 8.1 MVA of power for the site. This substantial capacity will be allocated based on end user requirements, offering a significant power supply for occupiers with high energy demands.
Clowes Developments will continue to work closely with Ashfield District Council and other stakeholders as the scheme progresses, with further announcements expected in the coming months.
Clowes Developments are working in partnership with FHP Property Consultants and Fisher German to market the site with units available from 60,000 to 206,000sq ft. Opportunities are available on both a freehold and leasehold design-and-build basis. For enquiries, please contact Tim Gilbertson on tim@fhp.co.uk or Rob Champion on rob.champion@fishergerman.co.uk.
