Clowes Developments has announced plans for extensive investment in their new business park site in Hucknall, Nottingham.

Construction company TanRo has been confirmed as the main contractor for the Clowes Developments' Harrier Park project.

Clowes Developments completed ground remediation assessments since successfully purchasing the 31-acre site and will now embark on an extensive four-week clean-up project.

Once the site is tidied, remedial groundworks on a 20-week programme will begin, likely to start in the new year.

The business park has been fully serviced by its previous owners and has the benefit of planning permission for circa 500,000 sq ft of warehouse/industrial space across six buildings.

These six buildings offer unit sizes from as little as circa 40,000ft² to 280,000ft², with all units being available to buy or rent.

The land was formerly used as an aerodrome associated with the development of the famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engine during World War II followed by the world's first successful vertical take-off in the 1950s with technology which in turn led to the Harrier 'Jump Jet' being developed.

James Richards, Development Director at Clowes Developments is working closely with agents, Fisher German and FHP Property Consultants, to market the site's 'design and build' opportunities on a buy or let basis.  

"With interest already high, it will not be long before remedial works turn into construction," said James.
