Construction has begun on a £12 million industrial development in Barnsley. The development aims to support growing local businesses and attract new investment to the area.
Named Kestrel Park, the project will deliver over 77,000 sq ft of industrial and trade space across seven units ranging from 3,000 to 21,500 sq ft. It is located near Hoyland, just off Junction 36 of the M1, offering strong regional connectivity.
The site is being delivered by Carnell Management Services (CMS), with support from Barnsley Council’s Property Investment Fund and £3 million from the South Yorkshire Jessica Fund, part of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. It also sits within the South Yorkshire Investment Zone.
Contractor BDB Design Build is leading the construction. All units are set to meet BREEAM ‘Very Good’ sustainability standards. Features will include solar panels, EV charging stations, LED lighting, cycle parking, and fully fitted offices.
Once complete, the scheme is expected to create around 185 jobs and provide much-needed industrial space for expanding SMEs and new entrants to the Barnsley market.
