Developer launches brand-new Derbyshire business park

Clowes Developments has launched a brand-new Derbyshire business park aimed at firms across the manufacturing, logistics and distribution sectors.

Birchwood Business Park, at Somercotes, near Alfreton, will offer five high-quality industrial and warehouse units, just off the M1 at Junction 28 and the A38.

The units, which have already been granted planning consent by Amber Valley Borough Council, will range from 9,000 sq ft to 95,000 sq ft, and will be available to rent or buy.

They will provide flexible opportunities for occupiers of varying sizes, from growing regional businesses to larger national operators seeking high-quality premises in a strategically connected location.

Birchwood Business Park will be accessed via the established Cotes Park Industrial Estate from Birchwood Way.

It will complement the established industrial and logistics presence within the area, providing much-needed, modern commercial space in a well-connected and proven business location.

James Richards, development director at Clowes Developments, said: “We are delighted to be bringing Birchwood Business Park forward and to launch this exciting new opportunity to the market.

“Somercotes is an established commercial location with excellent connectivity, and we have strong confidence in the long-term appeal of the site.

“We have already received significant interest from businesses keen to explore the opportunity to make Birchwood Business Park their new home, which is a strong indication of the demand for high-quality industrial and warehouse space in this location.”

Clowes Developments, together with its lead contractor, will shortly commence groundworks to prepare the site for development, with construction scheduled to begin in 2027.

With the scheme now launched to the market, prospective occupiers are invited to register their interest and discuss their requirements with the joint marketing agents, FHP Property Consultants and NG Chartered Surveyors.
