Green light for Stud Brook Business Park units as demand builds

Clowes Developments’ 20-acre Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington has taken a major step forward after being granted reserved matters planning consent for units 2-7.

The mixed-use scheme will include employment, amenity, office and industrial units for sale or let ranging in size from 1,500 to 45,000 sq ft – as well as a retail offer.

Derbyshire-based Clowes has also revealed that Roe Developments has been named as the lead contractor picked to construct this major scheme. Roe will start on site in September with a practical completion date set for Q3 2024.

James Richards, development director at Clowes Developments, said:

“After a period of extensive groundwork preparation it is great to finally start constructing Stud Brook Business Park. We’ll soon see steel frames being erected. Before we know it, occupiers will be moving into their brand-new premises.”

NG Chartered Surveyors have been appointed as joint agents with FHP Property Consultants to find tenants for the units.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants said:

“Stud Brook Business Park really is a rarity, given that we can offer units both to buy or rent from as little as a few thousand square feet up to over 40,000ft² in what is generally considered the best location in the East Midlands.  The area around Castle Donington has been popular with manufacturing and distribution occupiers for many years given its fabulous road links and ease of access for staff but most schemes have been focussed on larger occupiers, Stud Brook is looking at the local and mid-sized regional companies and I’m sure that market will welcome this fabulous opportunity with open arms.”

Richard Sutton, Managing Director at NG Chartered Surveyors, added:

“The level of demand we’ve seen for these units at Stud Brook has been exceptionally high – but that shouldn’t come as a surprise with a quality developer such as Clowes Developments.

“Now that the scheme has received planning permission, we should be in position to finalise deals across all units – ensuring another successful scheme for Clowes.”
