Clowes Developments have submitted a planning application to South Derbyshire District Council for two units totalling 542,000 sq ft on Plot 11 at Dove Valley Park in Foston.
The proposed development is being brought forward for an as-yet unnamed occupier, marking another significant investment in the industrial/warehouse/distribution park.
Earthworks are already progressing under an existing consent to prepare the site for construction following approval.
Marc Freeman, development director at Clowes Developments, said: “Dove Valley Park continues to attract strong interest from a range of high-profile national and international operators.
“This planning submission for two units totalling over half a million sq ft demonstrates our ongoing confidence in the site and its strategic location. We look forward to progressing the application with South Derbyshire District Council.”
In addition, a revision to the proposed Innovation Centre has also been submitted. The facility will serve as a central hub for all businesses in the local vicinity.
The Innovation Centre has been designed to draw people together and provide space for gatherings, informal meeting space and access to external areas. There will also be a cafe/restaurant and amenity space. The Innovation Centre will also serve as a place for start-up businesses and is being developed in consultation with The University of Derby.
