News: Retail development planned for Parkgate
Rotherham recycling experts, Ron Hull, has teamed up with Leeds-based developers, Gregory Projects to bring forward a potential retail development after securing a prime site at Parkgate.
The award winning developer hopes to secure planning approval for retail and leisure facilities on the former car showroom at Great Eastern Way to complement the existing provision.
A planning application is expected to be submitted shortly for the provision of a 16,000 sq ft discount food store, 22,000 sq ft of non-food retail and 18,000 sq ft of leisure facilities alongside over 250 car parking spaces.
Richard Tovey, director at Gregory Projects said: "Parkgate is already considered to be one of the regions premier retail destinations and the district centre plays a vital local role so it is a real coup for us to secure this superb development opportunity.
"The existing provision does not allow for budget operators which is where we hope to fill the gap, ultimately providing a greater variety of shopping. We are in discussions with potential operators which is very encouraging."
Formerly owned by Pendragon, the site was remediated twelve months ago and has been vacant since.
Colliers International is handling the planning process. GVA in Leeds is advising Gregory Projects on the lettings and the Sheffield office of Knight Frank is acting for Ron Hull Jnr Limited.
Across Rotherham, property consultants, WSB, has been instructed to market another former car showroom with the potential to be redeveloped as a retail destination. The two acre site at the end of Fitzwilliam Road has been earmarked for a 11,250 sq ft retail unit and a family pub, again, subject to obtaining planning permission.
