Next to Build 900,000 sq ft Mega Shed at IDI Gazeley’s G.Park Doncaster Site, M18 J4

Next is to build an 915,848 sq ft mega shed at IDI Gazeley’s 115 acre G.Park Doncaster scheme - next door to its existing warehouse.


Planning consent was unanimously approved by the council this week with the promise of 500 new jobs at the West Moor Park site, which is just off Junction 4 of the M18 motorway.

The facility will total 915,848 sq ft of floor space including the warehouse, office space and mezzanine levels. The plans include conveyor link bridge from the north eastern corner of the building to principally serve for the transfer of stock from the existing Next warehouse, across Holme Wood Lane.

The warehouse will largely operate on an automated basis typical of many modern logistic building operators. It will have two mezzanine levels and have a total eaves height of some 25.5m.

The 40 acre site will accommodate 394 car parking spaces, including 21 disabled spaces, which are to be located on the western part of the site. 25 covered parking spaces will also be provided. 48 HGV parking spaces are to be provided to the northern side of the building bays within the dispatch yard, together with 15 trailer boxed parking spaces and 55 loading bays. The dispatch yard will be controlled by security within a gate house via a separate access to the car park.

Office and administration space totalling 68,780 sq ft will located within a four storey element at the front of the proposed warehouse which will include a data centre, a staff shop, ancillary staff areas, offices, a call centre and a canteen on the top floor with a roof top garden. The proposed development shall achieve BREEAM “very good”.
