Space goes on offer at £400m Inland Port

The new Inland Port is being built on a site next to a new stretch of road between the M18 and the former Rossington Colliery known as the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Scheme (FARRRS).

It will eventually become a major hub for the moving of goods and will include a rail link connecting it to major UK ports and the Channel Tunnel.

Property agents Gent Visick, CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield are hoping to attract major retailers and logistics companies to take space on the 700 acre site.

Doncaster executive mayor Ros Jones said: “I am pleased to see both FARRRS and the Inland Port projects progressing well.

“Both will deliver huge benefits for both the borough and Sheffield City Region.

“Jobs and growth are top priorities for me and FARRRS will stimulate the economy around the airport and in Rossington itself through inward investment in new businesses and homes.

The Inland Port is being developed by property business Verdion with the financial backing of a Canadian pension fund.

Construction work began on site before Christmas and has seen temporary access roads built to the Inland Port site.

Construction of the Inland Port has been made possible by the first stage of construction on the FARRRS scheme.

The road is designed to ease congestion int he area, improve access to Robin Hood Airport and will also pave the way for the building of 1,200 homes on the Rossington Colliery site.

Building the road will involve the construction of a new bridge over the Brancliffe to Kirk Sandall railway line and piling work has already begun.

Doncaster Council said the work is progressing on time and on schedule.
