Rula Developments is seeking outline planning permission to redevelop the former Tinsley Bridge Group site close to the M1 in Sheffield by building more than 270,000 sq ft. of industrial or warehousing space.
The site is just off Europa Way, alongside Sheffield Business Park in the heart of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District. Rula acquired the site in November last year and bought a further frontage plot for larger and more prominent roadside premises.
It proposes demolition of the existing factory building being vacated by Tinsley Bridge Group, replacing it with a development capable of supporting more than 500 jobs, depending on the occupier and mix of uses.
Anthony Clitheroe, Development Director at Rula Developments said: “Our proposals seek to replace the old manufacturing building with extremely high quality, state of the art warehousing space in what is an already well-established manufacturing and logistics location in Sheffield, just two miles from the M1 motorway.
“The area is already recognised as a hotbed for cutting-edge industry and is well placed for last mile logistics operators serving the Sheffield City Region. The requirement for high quality, purpose-built industrial accommodation in the region remains high and we have already established strong interest from potential occupiers. We plan to develop the plot in line with occupier demand.”
CPP represented Rula on the site acquisition and investment sale and have been retained as agent for the new build alongside Colliers.
Architects The Harris Partnership has designed the scheme alongside Adept Consulting Engineers, and RPP whilst ID Planning is supporting the planning application process.
Rula Developments is a privately owned commercial development company focusing on identifying and developing sites across the UK for immediate or medium to longer-term strategic development, delivering high quality buildings and schemes.
