A major new industrial and logistics park could come to a 60-acre site off junction 46 of the M1, east of Leeds.
Scarborough Group International (SGI) has submitted plans to develop 645,834sqft of industrial and logistics space, with offices, opposite its existing 900,000sqft Thorpe Park Leeds site. The developers will host public consultation events showcasing the proposed masterplan for 'Integral', which will provide a range of buildings intended for the advanced manufacturing, logistics and industrial sectors.
SGI says that, if successful, the development is likely to be brought forward in multiple phases in line with market interest and occupier demand. It will be accessed via the new Manston Lane Link Road that is part of the East Leeds Orbital Route.

Adam Varley, development director at SGI, said: "The industrial and logistics sector is undergoing significant change. Supply chain resilience, rising energy costs, smart infrastructure and the continued growth of e-commerce are forcing businesses to rethink their real estate requirements. Decision making factors such as accessibility, cost and labour pool, while still relevant, are now being overtaken by the need to attract and retain the very best talent.
"The design of Integral scheme at Thorpe Park Leeds responds to the shifts in the market by providing industrial spaces that are integrated into a dynamic and established mixed-use community. Working with the design team we believe that the buildings will offer exemplary accommodation with enviable sustainability credentials, as well as access to an abundance of high-quality landscaped spaces."
