Leeds-based engineering consultancy JPG advises on retail park in Rotherham

Leeds based civil and structural engineering consultancy JPG has been appointed by Gregory Property Group to advise on its new development plans for a 50,000 sq ft retail park next to Parkgate town centre in Rotherham.

The instruction follows Gregory’s recent planning consent to develop the 3.87 acre site to deliver five new retail units, anchored by Aldi with the remaining space under offer to national operators.

Gregory Projects is working in collaboration with land owner and local business Ron Hull Jnr Limited to deliver the development.

The site, at the corner of Broad Street (A633) and Great Eastern Way (A6123) is just one mile from Rotherham town centre and was formerly owned by Pendragon and operated as a car showroom.

The site was remediated two years ago and has been vacant since.

JPG was appointed to the project due to its considerable expertise in dealing with remediation sites and its previous work with Gregory Property Group.

It remains a long term advisor to the established developer and was a major part of the design team for the £40 million Broad Street Plaza mixed use scheme in Halifax.

Gary Howarth, director at JPG said: “We are extremely pleased that our established partnership with Gregory Property Group continues with success and remain committed to deliver very specialist expertise and collaborative support to enable the group to fulfil its ongoing site ambitions.

“We have a strong portfolio of retail development achievements across Yorkshire.”

Gregory Property Group hopes to start work in site this summer with a nine month build programme.
