\u00A325 million redevelopment of land near stadium

JAGUAR Estates and Bridges Fund Management have submitted plans for a £25m redevelopment scheme opposite Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough football ground on Penistone Road, Hillsborough.

The former Kennings Truck Centre, which closed in the 1980s is currently used as a car park on match days.

Plans for site, which covers 10 acres, include a mix of retail, drivethrough restaurants and industrial units, designed by architects’ practice The Harris Partnership.

The proposals include three retail units, eight storage and distribution units, two drive-through restaurants and a vehicle maintenance and repair facility, as well as access roads. Up to 250 jobs could be created.

The developers said they had received interest in the development from national chains, with potential occupiers including a discount food store, coffee shop and builders’ merchants.
