Gascoigne Wood is a 185-acre former colliery site in Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire. Sited equidistant from Leeds, York and Doncaster, the site benefits from existing rail connections to two separate plots either side of the Leeds – Hull main line, and lies within 6 miles of the A1(M) and the M62. Since 2021, Network Rail has used part of the site as a logistics hub to support the Transpennine Route Upgrade Project.
Following an unsuccessful application to secure planning consent for warehousing on the site, Harworth has pursued a revised scheme for 1.5 million sq ft of floorspace, Intermodality being drafted in to assist with the new application. This builds on a long-standing relationship with Harworth across multiple sites in the company’s portfolio.
In June 2024 Harworth successfully secured a resolution to grant planning permission from North Yorkshire Council’s Strategic Planning Committee. The approved plans have the potential to deliver up to £190 million gross development value (GDV). The proposal is the delivery of seven units, ranging from 57,000 sq. ft. to 1.0 million sq. ft., all built to Grade A specification, with Harworth expecting to start on site in 2025.
We are now continuing to work with Harworth on rolling out the marketing strategy and development of the rail facilities. Further information can be found here.
