THE HYBRID planning application includes detailed consent for a 17.5 acre, EV-ready logistics yard which has been pre-let, plus an outline consent for a further 25-acre development site offering up to 450,000 ft2 of industrial, warehousing and logistics space.
The redevelopment of the site at Rossington has the potential to deliver more than 450 new jobs when completed.
The site is located three miles to the south of Doncaster, adjacent to the M18 Motorway and the iPort Logistics Park
C4 Projects, working on behalf of Premcor as architect and project manager for the scheme have instructed Howard Civil Engineering to begin works. They are currently on site with practical completion of Phase 1, which includes the new link road and the pre-let storage site, expected in August 2026. The access road and Phase 1 elements of the scheme are valued at £27.5m.
Premcor director Simon Hawkins, said: “Achieving planning approval and starting on site represents a major step forward for Mode 18. With consent now secured, we can move directly into delivery and begin building the infrastructure that underpins the entire scheme.”
BNP Paribas Real Estate senior director Guy Cooke, who is a joint agent on the scheme, said: “This consent enables immediate progress on the ground while providing a clear framework for delivering up to 450,000 ft2 of best-in-class transport, logistics and employment space in Doncaster, which we will be launching to market imminently working jointly with the Knight Frank.”
Doherty Baines advised Premcor on the financing for the site acquisition.
