News: Latest tenant set to perk up Rotherham retail development

A new neighbourhood coffee shop is the latest to sign up for the Olive Lane development in Rotherham. It leaves just one unit remaining of the original scheme.

Olive Lane opened last year at Waverley in Rotherham and the first tenants signing up to the scheme included a Tesco store, vets, nursery and restaurants. A medical centre and community centre are also part of the plans.

The urban shopping and leisure development on Highfield Spring, part of Harworth’s complete redevelopment of the former mining site, totals 11 retail units and a medical centre and sits between the housing and the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP).

Serve has secured the 1,959 sq ft unit E1, close to the Tesco Express, and opposite The Canary Bar.

Not just specialising in coffee and brunch, Serve will also introduce cocktails and dining to Waverley, with the operators already being granted a premises licence.

The licence sets out that opening hours are from 7:00 to 23:20 each day with alcohol able to served between 11:00 and 23:00. Conditions relate to drinks prices, the installation of CCTV and the introduction of a "Challenge 25" policy.

An opening date has not yet been announced but recruitment is underway and the Serve brand was recently introduced to the community at a Christmas event where a pop-up coffee shop showcased some of the drinks that will be on offer.

Olive Lane is home to Karobar Indian Restaurant, The Canary, Wingers, Hall Court Veterinary Group, Specsavers, Little Olives Nursery and Tesco Express. A 1,420 sq ft unit remains available to let.

At the other end of Olive Lane a planning application was approved last year relating to a new build block of commercial units that was sold off by Harworth to developers before work began.

Sky House Co., the Sheffield-based housing developer bringing forward the adjacent Waverley Central scheme, applied to make changes to unit G2. The plans show the building split into three units with one set to be occupied by a dental practice.

News: New Rotherham retail development filling up as dentist next on the waiting list

Changes are being made at a new retail development in Rotherham to enable a dentist to take space that was initially earmarked for offices.

Olive Lane opened earlier this year at Waverley and signing up to the scheme is a Tesco store, vets, nursery and restaurants. A medical centre and community centre are part of the plans.

The urban shopping and leisure development on Highfield Spring, part of Harworth’s complete redevelopment of the former mining site, totals 11 retail units and a medical centre and will serve the current community of more than 2,500 residents and around 1,700 homes, expected to rise to 8,000 people and more than 3,000 homes by 2029.

A planning application has been approved relating to a new build block of commercial units that was sold off by Harworth to developers before work began.

Sky House Co., the Sheffield-based housing developer bringing forward the adjacent Waverley Central scheme, applied to make changes to unit G2. The plans show the building split into three units with one set to be occupied by a dental practice.

The officer's report explains the reasons for the change: "This application now seeks to use Unit G3 as a dentist (use class E e) instead of offices, as this particular Use Class was not listed in the original permission this application seeks approval to allow Unit G3 to be used for that use."

As previously reported by Rothbiz, the unit was originally earmarked to be the new Sky-House Office headquarters, who at the time of the original application had 30 and 35 members of staff and intended to grow the business. However, since then plans explain that "working practices have altered and continue to evolve such that far more employees now routinely work from home or from other locations."

Sky-House now only require about half the available floorspace to meet their operational requirements in the building which is nearly completely constructed on site.

The report adds: "The applicant also notes that they have been unable to secure demand that would secure commercial use of the unit, however, in contrast there is confirmed market demand from a prospective purchaser to use the unit as a dental practice (Use Class Ee) and to deliver the social and economic benefits for the local community and for Waverley as a whole. They go on to note that there is a national shortage of dentists and access to dental services, as well as within the Waverley area, as such the provision of a dentist would be a community asset.

"The proposed dentist would create ten or more full time jobs as well as approximately ten part time jobs, and customers to the practice would increase footfall to other businesses on Olive Lane."

The plans were approved without going before Rotherham Council's planning board. The planner concluded: "After discussions with Rido [Rotherham Investment & Development Office] it is concluded that there is no demonstrated demand for offices in this location.

"It is therefore not considered that the loss of this office space would have a significant detrimental impact on the supply of office accommodation in this locality or in the Borough as a whole. Additionally, it is noted that the provision of a dentist within the unit would be beneficial to the local community. It has been requested that a condition be attached to ensure that the dentist is an NHS dentist, however it is not considered that this is acceptable."

Rothbiz reported earlier this year on plans that would enable My Dentist (GB) Limited to open at a vacant unit at Parkgate Shopping.

Now a new planning application shows that a family run fast-food franchise wants to open at the Rotherham development.

The plans involve the installation of extraction system to the rear of Unit E3 and are from Wolverhampton's Wing It On Ltd.

Plans show that the unit would operate under the Wingers brand.

Amran Sunner and his brother Dylan and dad Bill, set about creating their own delicious, fresh fried buttermilk chicken recipe for customers to enjoy and the idea quickly developed wings! They formed Wingers – the Chicken Wing Company – a family run fast-food franchise business creating delicious, fresh fried buttermilk chicken recipes that got Midland folk drooling.

The first restaurant opened in Lichfield, quickly followed by more successes around the Midlands. Recent investments can support up to 75 Wingers franchised restaurants across the UK.

Dylan Sunner, co-founder and Head of Procurement at Wingers, said: “Wingers is growing rapidly and we now have fifteen restaurants trading successfully with ambitions to secure 30 sites by the end of 2025."

Plans have also been submitted to enable changes to be made to a commercial building at Olive Lane.

Sky House Co, which bought a parcel of land from Harworth for a housing scheme, has applied for a two-storey building to accommodate three commercial units (G1, G2 and G3). Units G1 and G2 would be for Use Class E (Commercial, Business and Service) with Unit G3 being for Medical or health services. The units could support 26 full time equivalent jobs.

News: Rotherham retail development reaches practical completion with Tesco first to open

Olive Lane, Harworth’s brand new retail development at its flagship site at Waverley in Rotherham has reached practical completion with just over 80% of units under offer or let.

The urban shopping and leisure development on Highfield Spring, part of Harworth’s complete redevelopment of the former mining site, totals 11 retail units and a medical centre and will serve the current community of more than 2,500 residents and around 1,700 homes, expected to rise to 8,000 people and more than 3,000 homes by 2029.

Rothbiz reported last month on the current Olive Lane occupier line up that includes a Medical Centre, the recently opened Tesco, Waverley Community Centre, Specsavers, Little Olives Nursery, Karobar Indian restaurant and Hall Court Vets.

Three units of 1,420 sq ft remain to let, with advanced interest in one.

Kitty Hendrick, from the Sheffield office of Knight Frank, which is marketing the site, said: “Olive Lane is a really positive story, not only for the Waverley community but for the region.

“We are now just over 80% under offer / let and the units have only just reached Practical Completion, which proves that there is strong demand for retail units in the region, and limited availability.

“We have secured a mix of national and local independent retail and F&B occupiers, including Tesco, and look forward to seeing the scheme up and running once tenants have fitted out.

“There will be something for everyone at Olive Lane and we envisage the scheme to be very popular with high footfall once open.”

Michael Jameson, Senior Asset Manager at Harworth said: “Harworth is delighted to bring Olive Lane to life, a development which will become the new mixed use heart of the Waverley Community. Creating places where people want to live and work is at the heart of what Harworth do and we’re confident that Waverley and Olive Lane delivers on that aim. We hope local residents and workers will enjoy all the amenities the high street has to offer, and are sure the scheme will be a huge success and really bring the community together.”

Plans were approved for the scheme in 2023. It is a scaled back development, much reduced compared to previous iterations.

News: What is opening at Olive Lane?

The construction of Olive Lane, a retail mixed use development in Rotherham, is targeted for completion this month.

The plans proposed a new high street within the Waverley regeneration site which would incorporate retail, leisure, office, community uses, outdoor events and pop-up market stall spaces. The proposal also includes 50 residential units along with car parking, public realm and an improvement to existing public transport infrastructure.

In a scaling back of the plans, a 16,500 sq ft discount supermarket for the likes of Aldi and Lidl was taken out of the scheme and replaced by a 4,000 sq ft supermarket.

Rothbiz reported last year that Tesco Express would take the largest unit that is at the centre of the scheme which sits between the housing developments at Waverley and the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP).

Lindum Group is the lead contractor for regeneration specialists, Harworth Group.



Harworth has recently confirmed that the current occupier line up includes a Medical Centre, Tesco, Waverley Community Centre, Specsavers, Little Olives Nursery, Karobar Indian restaurant and Hall Court Vets.

A spokesperson from Harworth Group, said: "We know residents will be looking forward to making use of these amenities and enjoying what Olive Lane has to offer to the Waverley community. We are also currently in discussions with several other occupiers for the remaining few units.

"Our intention is for one of the units to be a pharmacy, to complement the medical centre at Olive Lane. We are in discussions with a pharmacy operator and they are currently in the process of securing an NHS license."

Adjacent to Olive Lane is Sky-House Co's Waverley Central. It features 96 new homes in a series of house types based on the Sheffield house builder's concept inspired by the revival of Victorian and Georgian urban design principles.

The site includes two-bed starter homes, three and four bed mews and town houses and a range of larger detached homes with various tenures, with the first occupants already moving into their completed new homes.

Rebecca Prince, Head of Brand at Sky-House Co, said: "Waverley Central is our biggest development to date and we are delighted that we are now welcoming our first residents.

"Following the success of our two well-established Waverley sites, Waverley Central places us even more firmly at the very centre of the Waverley community."

Harworth has also provided an update on the new Marriott Hotel at Waverley where construction has stalled.

The company said: "While Harworth is the master developer of Waverley, we have not been leading on the development of this hotel. It is instead being constructed by another developer – Stapleford Ventures – which bought the piece of land where the hotel is situated from Harworth in 2021.

"We have been in discussion with Stapleford Ventures in recent months and are pleased to report that it will be resuming works on the hotel in the week commencing 27 January.

"Marriott remains committed to operating the hotel, although we are not yet able to confirm timings for the hotel being operational. We know the community will be looking forward to the hotel opening and will continue to keep residents informed on this."

News: Rotherham office scheme wins approval

A significant regeneration scheme on remaining land at the Waverley development in Rotherham has been granted planning approval as work continues at the retail scheme nearby.

Rothbiz reported last year on plans by Harworth Group plc, one of the UK's leading land and property regeneration companies, for a landmark office development within their Waverley development.

The listed company is transforming the former Orgreave coal mining site into Yorkshire’s largest ever mixed-use development that also includes the iconic Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP).

Between the AMP and the housing development is an area known as Highfield Commercial. Close to the AMRC Training Centre, it currently includes residential development, a public house, a primary school, the proposed Highwall Park, the under construction new retail led mixed use centre known as Olive Lane, and a hotel which is also under construction - albeit work here has stalled.

Plans include earthworks that cover 3.89ha to create three serviced development platforms with detailed plans submitted for the fourth plot that shows a 18,500 sq ft, two storey office, complete with 72 car parking spaces and a new landscape proposal that would extend the Highwall Park planned nearby.

The application was approved without the need to go before the planning board.

Planners were impressed with the proposals for the offices, stating: "In design terms the proposed two storey office building is considered to be of a high quality design, which provides a key frontage to the road as well as forming a Landmark corner building.

"The materials are also considered to be of a high quality including stone, Corten steel cladding aluminium framed curtain walling. The high quality design would provide a positive contribution to the visual appearance of the locality."

The design of the building has been centred on the site's past and mining heritage, as well as the local steel and development industries.

At Olive Lane, contractors, Lindum, continue work on the new high street within Waverley which would incorporate retail, leisure, office, community uses, outdoor events and pop-up market stall spaces.

Tesco has signed up for the scheme with an opticians and pharmacy also interested in taking space alongside a medical centre and community building.

News: First tenants revealed as work starts at Olive Lane

Work has finally started on a much-needed new commercial and residential scheme on the Waverley development in Rotherham with an innovative restaurant and a creative housing developer the first to commit to Olive Lane.

The new mixed-use heart of the community will provide convenience retail, cafés and restaurants, alongside a new medical centre. It will comprise a new pedestrianised high street with 21,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space, linking the Waverley residential neighbourhood with the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP).

A groundbreaking event took place at the site in December 2023, attended by representatives of Harworth, Rotherham Council, the Waverley Community Council, Sky-House and Forge New Homes, who are also building new homes at the Olive Lane scheme. They were joined by teams who will be involved in the delivery of the project, including construction contractor Lindum Group, architects CODA, landscape architects PWP Design, civil engineer BE Design, planning consultant Stantec and project/cost manager Edge.

The first tenants to sign up include a new concept from the innovative food entrepreneuers behind Sheffield's JÖRO Restaurant.

Chef and co-owner Luke French, together with his wife and business director, Stacey Sherwood launched JÖRO, Sheffield’s first ever Michelin bib restaurant, in December 2016 to rave reviews. In late summer 2019 they opened Konjö, a street food concept, just around the corner from JÖRO. June 2021 saw their boutique hotel opening and last year it was announced that they would open at a new development in Oughtibridge Mill, also in Sheffield.

For Olive Lane, space is set to be taken for a community kitchen / bar venture - a new full day operation serving breakfast, lunch and evening meals.

Also taking space is Sky-House Co. The Sheffield company that is pioneering 21st century back-to-back housing at Waverley, will relocate its HQ and 30 jobs to office space sitting above the new venture from JÖRO.

An agreement has also recently been reached with NHS England and Rotherham Council to allow construction of the site’s medical centre to commence.

David Cross, CEO & Architect of Sky-House Co. described the new development as the "final missing-piece of the jigsaw" adding: "It's incredibly complex to curate a new neighbourhood and Olive Lane will become an exemplar model of placemaking in the new world."

Harworth recently completed a two-acre land sale to Sky-House to develop an additional 50 residential units (46 new homes, four apartments) directly adjacent to Olive Lane’s high street, alongside a new headquarters for the company and a small amount of retail and leisure space.

Completion of the high street element of the scheme, including the medical centre, is anticipated by the end of 2024, after which fit-out works for the retail and leisure units will begin.

Ed Catchpole, Regional Director – Yorkshire & Central, Harworth Group plc, said: “We are very excited to be starting work on Olive Lane, and to have completed this land sale to Sky-House, a trusted partner who shares our vision for making Waverley an attractive, vibrant and inclusive community.

"We know that many in the local area are excited about this part of Waverley being created, and we look forward to it being a place for those living and working here to come together and shop, eat and drink, or meet with friends.”

Cross added: “Our fourth deal with Harworth at Waverley is particular exciting as it helps provide the final and most crucial piece of the jigsaw in delivering a true heart of the community. Olive Lane fully represents our design-led and low carbon ethos as a business and our decision to move our headquarters there anticipates the vibrant place that it will become.

"Harworth has been instrumental in supporting our growth as an SME housebuilder over the past seven years and we look forward to continuing to work with the company throughout 2024, including in welcoming a range of new tenants for the scheme.”
