Huge facility at Doncaster Sheffield Airport
Doncaster Council (UK) has approved the construction of a 325,000 sqm advanced manufacturing and logistics development located at Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA).
The scheme will create around 4,300 jobs and provide high-quality manufacturing and logistics floor space within a region already renowned for leading edge advanced manufacturing facilities occupied by the likes of Boeing, Rolls Royce and McLaren, just 20 minutes away alongside the advanced manufacturing research centre.
Gareth Finch, planning director for investment property and airports at Peel L&P said: “This decision from Doncaster Council is crucial, as the development will unlock delivery of an innovation cluster alongside strategic logistics facilities. We’re pleased to see this support for our vision to create a truly multi-modal location, bringing substantial numbers of permanent jobs in high value sectors adding significantly to Sheffield city region’s economic productivity.” (mw)
