Harworth Group secures planning for major commercial development
at former Kellingley Colliery
Harworth Group plc ("Harworth" or the "Company"), the brownfield
regeneration and property investment specialist, is pleased to
announce that it has secured a resolution to grant planning
permission for a major commercial redevelopment of the former
Kellingley Colliery in Yorkshire.
The 151-acre site, located close to the M62 and other transport
links, will provide up to 1.45 million sq. ft of manufacturing and
distribution space. It is estimated that, once complete, the
redeveloped site could generate several hundred new jobs.
Harworth took control of the site in March 2016, following the
closure of the colliery in December 2015. The Company has spent the
last twelve months undertaking site safety and security works,
including demolishing redundant industrial structures, whilst
masterplanning the site for future employment uses.
Owen Michaelson, Chief Executive of Harworth, said:
"We are delighted to have secured a resolution to grant planning
permission for this major redevelopment, which will bring jobs and
investment to the region. It is further evidence of the ability of
our Capital Growth team to regenerate former industrial sites into
sustainable developments for the benefits of local communities and
underpins our strategy to drive long term value for
shareholders."
