Plans unveiled for new Barnsley business park

Plans have been drawn up for the development of a new business park near to junction 36 of the M1 in Barnsley.Enterprise 36, which will accommodate four large new industrial units, is now being promoted to potential tenants as a location for manufacturing and distribution.Owner Barmston Developments, a joint venture partnership between Wilton Developments and Clugston Estates, acquired the 25-acre site formerly known as Gladman Park in June.They have now rebranded it as Enterprise 36 to reflect the development’s significance within the new Sheffield City Region Enterprise Zone and its position less than a mile from junction 36 of the M1.The formerly disused business park has now been cleared and developers have secured full planning permission for four buildings totalling just more than 300,000 sq ft. These new-build units are suitable for industrial or warehousing use.It is anticipated that, once occupied, the development in total could create 520 jobs.Barmston is now working closely with Enterprising Barnsley, the economic development arm of Barnsley Council, to advance the Enterprise 36 scheme and seek further development funding.Property agencies CBRE of Leeds and CPP of Sheffield have been appointed to market the site nationally and regionally.
