Green light for 20 new units at £6m Scarborough Business Park development

A Yorkshire property developer has announced that it has received the green light for the construction of 20 new industrial units at a £6m development.

Priority Space, based in Barnsley, is creating a £6m commercial property development at Scarborough Business Park, which will provide 54,058 sq ft of industrial space.

The new units, which have been approved by Scarborough Borough Council and will range in size 1,500 to 6,003 sq ft, will be built on a plot of land acquired from Caddick Construction, and will be handled by Garness Jones.

Construction on the site is set to begin in September and is expected to complete in May 2022.

Adam Richardson, director of Priority Space, commented: “We’re delighted to announce we’ll be adding this development of useful-sized business units to Scarborough’s established business park.

“Our aim is to provide ambitious SMEs in East Yorkshire with the perfect base to grow their business.

“It’s time we stopped considering coastal locations as the ‘back of beyond’ in commercial property terms.

“Scarborough is well positioned, with good transport links, world-class connectivity and the added attraction of being on the beautiful East Yorkshire coast.

“As developers, we aim to deliver schemes which stimulate and support regeneration in communities like Scarborough. It’s a great place to do business.”

David Garness of Garness Jones said: “Scarborough is a diverse and important commercial location that deserves good quality business space.

“Priority Space have a great track record of delivering just that and we’re delighted to be working with them on this scheme.

“We look forward to handling enquiries in the next few months and I’m sure we’ll see businesses occupying this new development soon.”
