The planning application relates to the redevelopment of 43-acre, Mode 18 site at Junction 3 on the M18 at Rossington, Doncaster.

Planning permission was granted three years ago at the site for the installation of a link road to divert industrial traffic from the surrounding residential areas and construction of this road forms part of the proposed scheme works.

Proposals include a mix of employment and an element of operational vehicle storage with supporting infrastructure including a gatehouse.

Privately-owned property development company, Premcor Estates (Premcor), has submitted a planning application for its 43-acre, Mode 18 development site at Junction 3 on the M18.

A further planning application will be submitted shortly for land to the western end of the new link road for roadside uses, including an electric vehicle charging station and petrol station with shop, as well as providing new restaurant/coffee shop facilities with drive-through lanes.

Premcor director, Rob Lane, said: “We acquired this site off market and have spent the last four years on site assembly. Our work has also included securing agreements for a new link road for commercial traffic to the Bankwood Lane Estate to bypass Rossington and the large volume of residential development that has taken place there.

"The Link Road will make a big difference to local residents and Doncaster Council who have been supporting and promoting the link road for the last six years.”

The two separate planning applications could generate and sustain over 500 new full and part time jobs.

The proposed employment development site at the eastern end of the new Link Road will lead to the creation of around 450 jobs, while the commercial / retail uses at the western end of the new Link Road, provide a further 87 new jobs.
