Henderson Park and Cole Waterhouse have submitted plans for phase two of their Konect 62 development in Knottingley, West Yorkshire.
The project has a gross development value of £250m.
The move follows the completion of the first phase, which comprises 375,000 sq ft of speculatively built industrial space, designed by C4 Architects and delivered by McLaren Construction.
The second phase would bring forward a further 802,000 sq ft of logistics and manufacturing facilities, ranging in size from 4,000 sq ft to 375,000 sq ft.
The scheme will use low-carbon building design and technology, targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating. It will have an electric vehicle charging station, planting and seating areas and a food and beverage offer.
David Nuttall, managing director of industrial and logistics at Cole Waterhouse, said: “McLaren has delivered an excellent first phase at Konect 62; the three units and 30-acre plot set the tone for the remainder of the site and firmly establish Konect 62 as a genuine business location.
“We want to capitalise on this work, hence the application for our second phase. This will transform the remainder of the site, delivering a range of units to complement phase one, providing additional linkages to the canal towpath and complete the amenity area.”
Konect 62 has been developed on the site of Kellingley Colliery, which opened in 1959 and was the last deep mine in the UK when it closed its doors in 2015. Phase one will be capable of accommodating more than 1,500 jobs, with potential for an additional 1,000 upon delivery of phase two.
DTRE, Sixteen Real Estate and Savills are joint letting agents for Konect 62.
