A potential 800 jobs could be created after further expansion of the commercial district around Doncaster Sheffield airport was approved by Doncaster Council.
The expansion on the 1,600 acre Aero Centre Yorkshire site will see up to 600,000sq ft. of office, general industry, storage and distribution space developed.
The site could be made further accessible by public transport from surrounding towns and cities with the addition of a proposed East Coast Mainline link to the airport, which could be in place by 2024.
Peel Land and Property, part of the Peel Group which also owns the airport, expects strong interest in the fully-serviced site.
With the permission secured, the scheme will drive forward inward investment for Doncaster and prove instrumental to the continued delivery of the wider ambitions for Aero Centre Yorkshire, according to the company.
Peel Land and Property development manager Andrew Farrer said: “Aero Centre Yorkshire’s wider development will build on the success of Doncaster Sheffield airport which has seen significant growth in recent times.
“The application has been prepared to reflect the rapid growth in the cargo and logistics market at Doncaster Sheffield airport, helped by the improved accessibility provided by Great Yorkshire Way as well as its location within a national logistics hot spot between the Humber ports and the motorway network.”
