Heard on the grapevine Clarkes Brewery in Wakefield are moving to the Newmarket site in the summer of next year (201icon_cool.gif and will be taking 120000sq ft of space. Anyone else with an input who can confirm this please.

Not sure about the square meterage, but Clarke's have been rumoured to be moving to Newmarket for a couple of months or so.
I'm sure there are a few posters who will know more...

My Clarkes rep told me a few weeks back that they are having purpose built distribution centre built on Newmarket and hoping to be in mid 2018, so that part of the rumour has some credence, not sure on the size of the development though, but based on the fact they are looking to bring a couple of thier northern depot (including FAM) one roof, 120,000sq/ft sounds a bit small, 40,000sq/m is probs more like it 430,000sq/ft) from my experience in the distribution/warehousing market

If true. It would be potentially good for us.

Where would that leave us trigger point wise?

By my rough calculations, about 23,000m² past the trigger point

The plans for H B Clarks new distribution site at Newmarket which have been mentioned by me previously in April under a different post,show an area of 170,000 square feet [15,790 sq.metres] and they are due to move there in 2018.

If the trigger point will have been passed then, regarding the developed areas, there are reasons to be positive.

Just the funding.

Keep positive, keep fighting, keep believing

But isn't the agreement that Yorkcourt will build the community stadium once the trigger point is reached - funded by them?

As far as I'm aware, yes it is.

Lets just hope that they are true to their word

As was mentioned in the last thread Kev referred to the Newcold build is listed at around 38,000sqm. So the Clarks development wouldn't quite take it passed the trigger mark.

Yeah well I'll second that one!

If nothing else, I doubt there is a group of rugby supporters in the country better versed in aspects of planning law than us. Graduates have studied for less time than us.

Does that this take into account both the existing and under construction parts of newcold?

Especially the ones that work at Wakefield Council!

Yep, first part was around 21000msq from memory, the second is apparently slightly less.
