Creation of three new buildings at South Yorkshire’s Advanced Manufacturing Park has inched closer with the granting of detailed planning permission.
Permission was sought to create buildings measuring almost 93,000 sq ft, and which would be divided into 11 units.
Rotherham Council has now granted planning permission for the development, subject to conditions, under delegated powers. An officer’s report said: “It is considered that the scheme has been sympathetically designed, taking account of the characteristics and constraints of the site and the character of the surrounding area.
“Therefore the scheme is considered to be of an appropriate size, scale, form, design and siting that would ensure it would enhance the quality, character, distinctiveness and amenity value of the borough’s landscapes and will be visually attractive in the surrounding area.”
Outline planning permission was granted in July 2021 for up to 242,000 sq ft of new business, manufacturing and office floorspace at the AMP.
The new units will range in size from 5,750 sq ft to 11,000 sq ft and have been designed to match the existing buildings at the AMP. Proposals include 130 car parking spaces, with parking for disabled users and electric vehicle charging points.
