£12m industrial park to boost business space in Barnsley

Construction is underway on a £12 million industrial development in Barnsley. The development aims to meet the strong demand for business space and support local employment.

Kestrel Park, located near the A6195 Dearne Valley Parkway, will deliver 77,400 sq ft of industrial space across seven units. Completion is expected in early 2026.

Developer Carnell Management Services leads the speculative project, backed by £3 million from South Yorkshire’s Investment Zone Funding. The park is expected to support the creation of up to 185 jobs.

The new units, designed with sustainability in mind, will include features such as solar panels, EV charging stations, cycle parking, and LED lighting. An environmental impact assessment will also be carried out.

The development responds to ongoing interest from expanding local firms and inward investors looking for smaller, high-quality industrial space. Kestrel Park adds to Barnsley’s growing portfolio of business-ready sites aimed at stimulating regional economic growth.
