Clowes Developments has announced that practical completion has now been achieved on the extensive programme of site preparation and enabling works at Harrier Park, Hucknall, marking a major milestone in the transformation of the historic 31‑acre former brownfield site.
Following Clowes Developments’ acquisition of the site, a significant multi-million‑pound investment has been delivered to prepare the land for its next chapter as a high‑specification commercial hub. The site, renowned for its engineering heritage linked to the Harrier “Jump Jet” and Rolls‑Royce Merlin engines, will now accommodate over 500,000 sq ft of new industrial and warehouse space in a prime East Midlands location on the outskirts of Nottingham, outside the workplace parking levy.
The extensive works package, delivered by lead contractor TanRo, included substantial engineering works which has delivered a construction ready plateau on Plot 1. Works included the installation of a 134‑metre retaining wall featuring 64 steel columns and 127 concrete infill panels, the completion of major storm drainage works and high‑voltage diversion ducting, the removal of all existing surfacing and underground obstructions, the formation of the future access road, and the completion of bulk earthworks.
Plot 2 has also been fully prepared for development, with a storm drainage diversion completed, a screening bund formed to the south of Plot 2D, and bulk earthworks substantially finished to achieve the required plateau levels.
Hollie Parkes, Senior Engineer at TanRo commented on the conclusion of the project,
“TanRo is delighted to have delivered the remediation and enabling works for Clowes on this excellent scheme. Throughout the process, we’ve seen a wide range of technical elements come together, giving us a clear perspective on the positive impact these works will have on the area.
By tackling the more challenging aspects early on, including the retaining wall construction and complex drainage installation, we have positioned the site perfectly for the next stage of development.”
Clowes Developments has secured an impressive 8.1 MVA power supply for Harrier Park, giving future occupiers access to a substantial and reliable energy capacity across the site. Combined with a strong local workforce and excellent transport links for logistics, distribution and commuter travel, Harrier Park is ideally positioned to support a wide range of businesses.
The business park is being marketed by FHP Property Consultants and Fisher German, with units available from 64,000 sq ft to 117,000 sq ft with the flexibility to combine footprints (subject to planning) on a freehold and leasehold basis.
