SGP achieves planning for new British Land industrial development in Sheffield

Thrilled to see our client Stephen George + Partners (SGP) receiving consent of a reserved matters application for four industrial units, totalling 239,649 sq ft, on British Land’s 17.7 hectare River Don District development at Meadowhall in Sheffield.

Along with associated service yards, landscaping and parking, the boldly designed units, of 120,505 sqft, 27,588 sqft, 74,353 sqft and 17,203 sq ft respectively, form the first of three plots on the brownfield site, which received outline planning consent in 2019 for approximately 1 million sq ft of commercial development.

Commissioned by British Land after a competitive interview process, SGP worked closely with the client to create various masterplan options and develop detailed plans for plot 1, containing four logistics and light industrial units to meet local and national market demand.

Explains Alan Soper, Studio Director at SGP’s Leeds office: “British Land wanted to develop the land to deliver regeneration for the area and increase employment opportunities. Working within the parameters of the outline planning consent and several restrictions on site, including the Carbrook sewer, a culverted mill race and potential changes to nearby highways, our contemporary design also reflects the proud industrial heritage of the area and enhances the surrounding viewpoints.”
