A proposed logistics and industrial hub at Leeds Valley Park has been given the green light by members of the Leeds City Council Plans Panel. 

The scheme, brought forward by Caddick Developments, is expected to bring a significant economic and employment boost to the region, and establish the site as Leeds’ premium ‘mid-box’ logistics location. 

Proposals include the construction of six logistics and manufacturing buildings of varying sizes totalling 300,000sq ft. 

The development will target enhanced environmental standards of BREEAM ‘very good’ and an EPC rating of ‘A’.

Jim Dyson, Director at Caddick Developments, said: “We’re especially proud to be bringing forward a scheme which will contribute to the region’s economic fightback from the Covid-19 pandemic, by creating 500 jobs and bringing a boost to the local economy.  

“Demand is incredibly high for developments of this type and size, and we’ve already started receiving interest from businesses looking to establish themselves in the area. 

“This is an exciting time for the sector, and our scheme at Leeds Valley Park South will offer flexible commercial space to suit businesses of all shapes and sizes.”
