Located just off the A50 and M1/M6 link, only 12 miles from Derby, 23 miles from Stoke and 31 miles from Nottingham, Dove Valley Park is accessible to 48 million people within a 4-hour drive.

Dove Valley Park is a major 200-acre industrial/distribution development at the centre of one of the country’s most important manufacturing areas and consequently is home to household occupiers such as JCB, MEG Group, GXO, etc, all of which were drawn by the fantastic accessibility for both staff and deliveries.

The final phase consists of 34-acres which is available for design and build industrial/warehouse units, which we can offer on a freehold basis or leasehold basis.

Darran Severn and Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants, who are marketing the site commented:-

“There are not many other sites in the East Midlands where you could buy a unit from 30,000ft² – 400,000ft², particularly with such good connectivity to both the M1 and M6 Motorways.  The beauty of build to suit, is that we can offer occupiers bespoke units designed to their exact specification, whether that’s for storage and distribution or manufacturing and production uses.   As a certain famous brand of beer would say, probably the most competitively priced freehold design and build scheme in the Midlands? 

Certainly the calibre of product, location and skill of the developers, Clowes Developments cannot be challenged and we would love to put our beliefs on pricing to the test! 

Clowes Developments are well versed in the delivery of these high quality industrial and warehouse units.  Given their extensive knowledge and excellent development history, they are well placed to deliver these units to occupiers at competitive market rates.

Please do get in touch with either myself or Tim for further details on availability, specification and pricing and we can come back to you with a tailored proposal within 48 hours.”

“It’s great to see these units take shape and it still surprises me on how quickly they come out the ground.  Whilst the weather has not been on the contractor’s side, the delivery of these units is still on schedule with practical completion set in the next couple of months. 

The units will suit a mixture of uses including storage and distribution, production or manufacturing.  We have already been carrying out a number of viewings and are hopeful with completion nearing that one of these will lease to a sale or letting.”

The East Midlands’ commercial property market like all sectors of the economy continues to evolve as we face both economic, political and worldwide challenges.  Despite the uncertainty, we are pleasingly seeing good activity within the office, warehouse and retail sectors.  As a result we have been taking on new instructions, building new relationships and are expanding into new areas across Derbyshire and the East/West Midlands.  We have an experienced team in place to service these instructions with capacity to further increase workloads.

The office and industrial agency team deal with sales, lettings and acquisitions of commercial property on a day to day basis across Derbyshire, Staffordshire and the wider Midlands.  The team are currently involved in some exciting schemes along the A50 corridor which include the disposal of three brand new speculatively built industrial and logistics units totalling some 460,000ft² at Dove Valley Park.  In addition, we are working with local developers on their final phase at Dove Valley Park which includes 34 acres of development land for build to suit warehouse opportunities.

In Uttoxeter, we have two speculatively built warehouse units at Dove Way which range in size from 36,000ft² to 110,000ft².  These will be available for occupation in the next few months.  We are also working with a national developer on a site to the west of Uttoxeter which is capable of delivering a unit up to 500,000ft² or a series of smaller units.  Enabling works have commenced and we hope to see a building on site within the next couple of years.

In terms of offices, we are seeking more stock as a result of a successful 12 month period with some 60,000ft² being let or sold by FHP alone across Derbyshire.  A particular highlight being the letting of Waterside Place, a new 35,000ft² office building in Chesterfield, and the letting of some 20,000ft² at Pentagon House, Derby.  Whilst stock levels remain low across Derby, particularly on Pride Park, we are working with a number of clients who own large multi-let offices where we can offer suites up to 20,000ft² plus.

Our retail and leisure agency team are dedicated to all sectors including High Street, shopping centres, retail parks, neighbourhood parades and drive through sites.  The leasing team has been particularly busy working on the Derbion where fashion and lifestyle brand, White Stuff, have secured a 1,501ft² unit.  This announcement comes after £5 million being poured into the development of three new concept stores for JD, New Look and Ann Summers at Derbion.  JD is set to expand its store to a 20,175ft² space by the end of the year, more than doubling its current size.

Derby City Centre saw a fast start to 2024, with a number of High Street lettings completing including 30 St Peters Street and 11 Sadler Gate, as well as a lease renewal to Lloyds Bank.  Generally we have seen increased activity in the market place, with a good number of enquiries for retail and leisure properties throughout the City Centre.  Moving our focus into Derbyshire, we have seen improved demand of late for units within Ashbourne and the town seems revitalised since the opening of Bear Café on St John Street.  The renewed appetite for Ashbourne was clearly demonstrated when FHP brought 5a St John Street to the market and the property was placed under offer within one week of being listed in a deal which will bring an exciting restaurant into the town centre.  In addition we have been instructed on Peak Village Shopping Centre in Rowsley to enhance and attract new retailers which complement the existing tenant mix.

The Professional and Valuation team continue to be busy in all commercial sectors, whether that is for personal/private valuations, secured lending, pension purposes, lease renewals and rent reviews.  We also undertake reinstatement cost assessments for insurance purposes.  We have been covering the East and West Midlands for many years, providing our clients with the best advice from our knowledgeable and experienced team.

Darran Severn, Director at FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“Having worked for FHP for close to ten years now, I feel the Derby team are better placed than ever to service both our existing and new clients across all sectors of the market.  Whilst the bulk of our work is concentrated on Derby and Derbyshire, we are pleasingly extending our instructions along the A38 and A50 corridor into Staffordshire bridging the gap with our other offices in the Midlands in Birmingham and Nottingham.  FHP has always been able to cover the entirety of the Midlands for any commercial property requirement for clients old and new and the link between all three offices gives us that ability to provide joined up thinking across the region for our clients.

We have the capacity within the team to take on further instructions and I would be more than happy to meet with any occupiers, landlords or landowners to discuss any opportunities.”

To discuss any property matter throughout Derbyshire or the wider Midlands region, please contact any member of our team and we would be delighted to assist.

The first half of 2024 has pleasingly been a busy period for FHP Property Consultants, and we have been involved in several successful schemes across North Derbyshire, particularly between Junctions 29 and 30 of the M1 motorway.

The office agency team have been dealing with a number of good quality enquiries which has led to the letting of 12,000ft² at Holmewood Business Park, Holmewood, a modern office park approximately 4 miles south east of Chesterfield.  The 12,000ft² comprises two lettings, one to Rutland UK who have relocated from Chesterfield, and the second to Harmony Fire who have several offices located across the country.  Both businesses have committed to new 5 year terms and chose this location due to the connectivity to the M1.  We have one remaining office building at Holmewood Business Park comprising 5,267ft², for which we already have strong interest, and we will hopefully be able to declare this “under offer” within the next couple of weeks.  The office team also has 6,000ft² “under offer” in Barlborough, just off Junction 30 which is due to complete any week with terms also out on an additional 12,000ft² office building in this location.

Darran Severn, Director at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It’s been hard work but pleasing we are seeing some of the deals we agreed earlier in the year completing.  We are finding that enquiry levels are consistent and in some of these locations it’s a matter of unearthing the right occupier for the building.  Quality is key, and many of the businesses we are speaking with are looking for refurbished space that is immediately available for occupation.  Both capital and rental values remain at existing levels, with typical lease lengths being between 5 and 10 years with breaks in year 3.  Whilst there is an element of uncertainty in the air due to political and world events, we do require more stock across Derbyshire to satisfy ongoing requirements.”

The industrial agency team has also been busy working on several schemes in Clay Cross, the first being Wingfield View Business Park, which is being developed by Roe Developments.  Wingfield View Business Park is a new industrial estate comprising 19 units totalling some 60,000ft².  The units range in size from 2,091ft² to 12,062ft² and have been available to purchase or lease.  FHP Property Consultants alongside joint agents are pleased to confirm that all units are now under offer with practical completion imminent.

Darran Severn added:

“This has been an extremely successful development and one which has been a pleasure to work on.  The size of units delivered is exactly what the local market requires, and consequently the majority of these units are going to local businesses.  There has been a continued demand for units up to 10,000ft² particularly on a freehold basis and the flexibility here has been key to getting all units under offer.”

Following the success at Wingfield View Business Park, Roe Developments have started construction on Egstow View Business Park, Clay Cross, which will offer a mix of trade counter and warehouse units.  The scheme should be available for occupation around Q2 2025 and we are pleased to confirm that there are already four units under offer on a leasehold basis including one drive-through unit.

In the general Chesterfield area, we completed the sale of 12,500ft² in Whittington to another local occupier and have let a further 3,000ft² at Spectrum Business Park, just south of the town centre.  Due to the success at Spectrum Business Park, the owners are now looking to deliver further units that will hopefully be available in Q1 2025.

We are seeing that most businesses are being prudent in their business plans, but we are pleasingly finding the majority are still being progressive.  Enquiry levels remain consistent and more importantly units are being placed under offer and deals are completing.

For further information on any of these deals, or to discuss your property requirement/disposal of your property, then please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team.

Plans for the completion of Dove Valley Park have been submitted to South Derbyshire District Council by Dove Valley Park Ltd, a subsidiary of Clowes Developments, and IMA Architects.

The plans, will transform an area of land next to Dove Valley Park into a thriving centre of employment, creating local jobs and bringing economic benefits to Derbyshire. It will complete Dove Valley Park, forming the eastern part of the major 200 acre employment site on the A50 in South Derbyshire that is home to occupiers including JCB, Top Hat, Futaba Ltd and GXO.

The application site could be brought forward for development immediately as the existing infrastructure of Dove Valley Park is already in place to extend into the site.

If approved, the plans will see the 35.29 acre site developed to create circa 54,500m² of employment space for B2, B8, with ancillary E(g) use. Four units of varying sizes will be created to meet market demand for quality industrial space, along with the necessary associated hard and soft landscaping, car parking and infrastructure.

In addition, a new Innovation Centre will be created that will serve as a central hub for all businesses in the local vicinity. The aim is to draw people together and provide spaces for gatherings, along with informal meeting space and access to external areas. The Innovation Centre will also serve as a space for start-up businesses to begin and has been developed in consultation with The University of Derby.

To enable people from the surrounding areas to access the site, a new bus route will be created to serve Dove Valley Park and the timings of the existing bus route will be altered to reflect occupier’s shift patterns.

The proposals exceed biodiversity net gain requirements and will feature a 40 metre wide landscape buffer to the east which will screen the development from view. The buffer will also incorporate a new public footpath.

Commenting on the plans, Marc Freeman Director at Clowes Developments said:

“There is significant demand across the East Midlands for industrial space and our plans for the completion of Dove Valley Park will deliver high quality units for businesses in South Derbyshire. Since its inception in the 1990s Dove Valley Park has thrived and brought economic benefits to the area, so we are excited about the prospect of completing the site and creating hundreds of new jobs for local people.”

Anthony Day, Managing Director of IMA Architects comments:

“The completion of Dove Valley Park will be a significant development for South Derbyshire. The plans we have created with Clowes Developments will ensure it is a quality site that will appeal to occupiers that will view Derbyshire as the long term home for their business, providing sustainable long term employment. We are also proud to have exceeded  biodiversity net gain at the site and will take this practice into future developments where possible.”

“I am delighted that after high levels of interest we could secure a buyer for this property.  There remains little space to buy on the market of any size throughout the region and as a result we were able to place this property under offer within a week of placing it on the market.  As a result we achieved the guide price which is an excellent result for our clients.

I would be delighted to speak with any occupiers who are actively seeking space across Derbyshire or alternatively any property owners that are considering selling or leasing their unit”.

Acting on behalf of private clients, FHP’s Darran Severn has completed the letting of 28,000ft² of industrial/warehouse space just off the A38 at Junction 28 of the M1 motorway.

The letting sees local occupiers Rowes Precision Products Ltd relocate from their current base in Ilkeston to continue their growth and expansion in a much larger building which benefits from a large, oversized yard.

Darran Severn comments:

“I am pleased to see this deal over the line and I wish the new occupiers well in their new unit.  The unit sits within an excellent location just off the A38 dual carriageway and offers clean span accommodation that benefits from a light refurbishment. 

Stock levels seem to be fairly consistent at present as deals are progressing and other opportunities are coming to market.  The good news is that there is a good sign of demand and we do need more space to meet the requirements of a number of occupiers that we know who are looking to move”.

For further information on this transaction, please contact Darran Severn on 07917 460031 or darran@fhp.co.uk.

The development will provide 10 units totalling some 50,000ft² all available on a freehold basis.  The units range in size from 4,232ft² to approximately 20,000ft² and are available at a guide price of £135 per ft².

The first two units have been placed under offer and planning permission has now been submitted.

Darran Severn, Director at FHP Property Consultants comments:

“We are pleased to confirm that the first two units have been placed under offer on a build to suit basis, which is excellent news.  In addition, a planning application has now been submitted for the first phase of units which will be available around Q2 2025.

There is a continued shortage of freehold industrial/warehouse units across the region, and as a result we are in discussions with a number of local occupiers who have expressed an interest in the site.  Once the units start to take shape I would expect to see even more interest and further sales being agreed”.

Dove Valley Park is a major 200 acre industrial/distribution development situated on the A50 corridor and is already home to a number of blue-chip companies.  The 200-acre development has planning consent for up to 2.3 million ft² and is situated in the centre of one of the country’s most important manufacturing areas.

The A50 corridor is a primary east-west route within the Midlands linking Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire to Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and the North-West.

Current occupiers on the site include JCB, GXO, Futaba, Top Hat, Truma and MEG Group.

Darran Severn, Director at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“Dove Valley Park is a hidden gem, but the quality of occupier shows what a great spot it is.  Its success has in part been due to its accessible location between the M6 and M1 motorways, but it also offers an excellent base to recruit a wide range of skilled labour from the surrounding towns and cities of Derby, Burton on Trent, Stoke on Trent and Uttoxeter.  The park  is operational 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and has direct access to the A50 to the East and West.

There are a number of leasehold and freehold opportunities remaining at Dove Valley Park that are available on a design and build basis from 32,130ft² to 124,000ft² plus existing new build units of 113,053ft², 152,466ft² and 195,679ft², which are available for immediate occupation.  We really do have something for every type of occupier at Dove Valley Park”.

A launch event is being held on Thursday 23^rd May 2024 to showcase the newly built units.  If any prospective occupiers would like to join us on the day for a tour of the buildings and site, then please get in touch.
