Full planning consent has been secured for 40,000 sq ft of new industrial space in Hull.
The Derwent Group, owner of Anlaby Retail Park, is adding the units as part of its strategic development of the site.
New plans for the long-consented industrial scheme were brought forward in the summer. Work is now expected to start in mid-2022, ready for practical completion in early 2023.

The speculative development will see units range in size from 1,500 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft, with mezzanine floor options.
They are designated for general industrial, storage and distribution use.
Andrew Day, senior asset manager at The Derwent Group, said: “We’re delighted that we can now push forward with this scheme and bring flexible and modern industrial accommodation to the local market.
“Our vision for this site is in keeping with The Derwent Group’s wider commitment to expand our industrial portfolio with high quality space in strategic locations where there is already strong amenity and good road connectivity.
“We’re currently in the process of procuring a contractor and expect work to start on site in the spring.”
Part of the Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation, it operates in the retail, leisure, industrial, commercial and residential sectors, owning and managing three million square feet of commercial property, including 2.1 million sq ft of retail and leisure space.
David Garness, director at Hull’s Garness Jones, is acting agent for the scheme. He said: “This is tremendous news and we expect to see high demand for the scheme. It’s been designed to reflect local market demand with a number of smaller units available, plus it has the benefits of easy access to the retail park, city and motorway network.”
