Lindum Group has achieved a significant milestone in the development at Overfield Park, Newark, with outline planning permission granted for commercial development.
The consent allows up to 130,000 sq ft of industrial, storage, distribution, R&D and office employment space, where it is expected up to 120 new jobs will be created.
The planning permission granted is outline in nature to provide flexibility and an ability to deliver to bespoke end user requirements.
Overfield Park is a 21-acre site off Godfrey Drive, at the intersection of the A1, A17 and A46, which presents an ideal opportunity to create high quality business units with national transport connectivity.
Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee approved the development, with detailed design for individual units, including sustainable build features such as solar panels, low carbon materials and EV charging points, to be submitted during the detailed design stage.
Travel plans will also feature in future reserved matters planning applications, to help promote and secure sustainable travel provision for site occupants.
Dean Bower, Senior Development Manager, Lindum Group, said: “This is another big milestone at Overfield Park, adding to the previously developed Farol dealership, Wirtgen UK head office and Starbucks restaurant.
“New build development of this bespoke nature is limited in the area and this planning permission will allow further high-quality complimentary development to be delivered in the next 12-18 months to meet occupier demands.”
