Harrier Park, Hucknall, Nottingham to receive extensive investment by new site owners, Clowes Developments
Clowes Developments start clean up works at Harrier Park
Since the successful purchase of the 31-acre site at Harrier Park, Hucknall, Clowes Developments have completed ground remediation assessments and look to begin an extensive four-week clean-up project.
The site will be cleared in accordance with advice from WSP who are advising Clowes Developments on ecology at the site. The boundaries will also be fully secured as a health and safety measure whilst contractors, TanRo ramp up their presence on the site, once the site is tidied up, remedial ground works will begin on a 20-week programme, likely to start in the new year.
The business park has been fully serviced by its previous owners and has the benefit of planning permission for circa 500,000 sq ft of warehouse/industrial space across six buildings. These six buildings offer unit sizes from as little as circa 40,000ft² to 280,000ft², with all units being available to buy or rent.
The site benefits from an excellent location, just on the edge of Hucknall being within a 10-minute drive between junction 26 and 27 of the M1 Via the A611. East Midlands Airport, East Midlands Parkway Train Station and the cities of Derby and Nottingham are all accessible within a half an hour drive from the business park. Harrier Park also sits outside the Nottingham workplace parking levy.
The site, aptly named Harrier Park, has a wealth of industrial history and a legacy of innovative engineering. The land was formerly used as an aerodrome associated with the development of the famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engine during World War II followed by the world’s first successful vertical take-off in the 1950’s with technology which in turn led to the Harrier ‘Jump Jet’ being developed. Hence the name, Harrier Park.
James Richards, Development Director at Clowes Developments is working closely with agents, Fisher German and FHP Property Consultants, to market the site’s ‘design and build’ opportunities on a buy or let basis. With interest already high, it will not be long before remedial works turn into construction.
