Following its acquisition of the Harrier Park site in Hucknall, Clowes Developments has launched a multi-million-pound site clean-up and enabling works programme to prepare the site for redevelopment.
The contaminated brownfield site on the outskirts of Nottingham was formerly home to the development of the Harrier jump jet and Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.
After it is cleaned up, it will have 500,000 sq ft of modern industrial and warehouse space, neighbouring a 200,000 sq ft facility currently occupied by RM Resources.
The extensive site clean-up and enabling works is being carried out lead contractor TanRo and marks the first major investment in the long-term development strategy for the site. The multi-million-pound deal works will include groundwater treatment, ground remediation, earthworks to plateau plot levels, construction of retaining walls, high-voltage (HV) service diversions, drainage infrastructure, Section 278 bell mouth works, and initial estate road construction. The road infrastructure programme is expected to continue beyond the initial 20-week schedule.

TanRo has been a regular Clowes contractor in recent years, having been set up in 2020 by former Winvic managers Fintan Phelan and Robin Orgill.
TanRo senior engineer Hollie Parkes said of the Harrier Park site: “This technically complex project involves significant ground remediation, the installation of a retaining wall as well as the formation of development plateaus. TanRo is proud to contribute its expertise to such a challenging and historically significant scheme.â€
Clowes Developments associate director Kevin Webster said: “Harrier Park is a special site with a remarkable heritage, and we’re proud to be bringing it back into productive use. Our first major step is to address its long-standing issues with contamination. Our enabling works are designed to prepare the land for high-quality industrial development, and interest is already strong from potential occupiers looking for bespoke space in a well-connected location.â€
