Clowes Developments has instructed groundwork contractor, J.C Ball s & Sons to commence the earthworks and implementation of first phase infrastructure ahead of the construction of a primarily industrial use scheme at Stud Brook Business Park, Castle Donington.
The brand-new business park located off the Castle Donington bypass, which connects Clowes developed and managed East Midlands Distribution Centre (EMDC) to East Midlands Airport, is now under construction.

Groundwork specialists, J.C Balls & Sons, have started work on levelling the ground, creating plateaus and delivering essential infrastructure such as roads and services which will facilitate the construction of the commercial units over the next two years.
Dane Potts, Operations Manager, J.C Balls & Sons commented,
“Over the last couple of years, we have been working closely with Clowes and their planning team to give the most efficient engineering solution for the earthworks and infrastructure. Providing Clowes with a solution that gives them the development areas they need. It has been a pleasure working with team at the planning stage and being given the opportunity to self-deliver the enabling works in advance of the building contractors is a privilege.”
The mixed-use scheme will house bespoke build to suit employment, amenity, office, and industrial facilities ranging in size from 1,500 to 45,000 sq ft. The site will offer a mixture of detached and semi-detached commercial units with onsite car parking and adequate yard provisions.
Clowes have instructed a landscape architect to devise a comprehensive plan which will gently blend the commercial units at Stud Brook with the neighbouring residential development.
J.C Balls & Sons scope is to deliver a site that is prepped and ready to build straight away across 7 development plots. Involving earthworks, drainage, Stabilisation, road construction and the delivery of the services to the plots. Once their works are completed, contractors will be on site to start the construction of the buildings.
