Clowes have submitted a planning application to South Derbyshire District Council for two units totalling 542,000 sq ft major development on Plot 11, at Dove Valley Park in Foston, Derbyshire.

The proposed development is being brought forward for an as-yet unnamed occupier, marking another significant investment in one of the region’s most established industrial/warehouse/distribution parks.

The planning application reinforces Clowes’ commitment to providing high-quality industrial and logistics space in the Midlands. Earthworks are already progressing under an existing consent to prepare the site for construction following approval.

Marc Freeman, Development Director at Clowes Developments commented:
“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.”

Further details about the occupier and development timeline will be released in due course.

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.
