NSD managing director Stephen Barnes said: “This is a prime commercial and industrial site that is just a few minutes away from Junction 30 of the M62 and the M1 interchange, making it an ideal location for national and international operators.
“The Newmarket Lane area has become established as one of Yorkshire’s most attractive logistic hubs and we are delighted to have secured planning that will help promote this prime location even further.”
The wider Newmarket Lane commercial area, once home to Newmarket Silkstone Colliery before its 1983 closure, covers around 200 acres, with potential development of up to 1m sq ft.
With Amazon, food storage specialist NewCold and Phoenix Healthcare already established on site, there are around 1,500 people employed with a further 1,500 jobs expected once the area is fully developed out.
