Description
The Energy Area is located south of Stainforth town centre, plot R3 which comprises 1.25 acres is now available and we believe is ideally suited for a residential care home or similar use.
The plot can be accessed through Stainforth off Thorne Road via the new link road (Unity Gate) which connects with junction 5 of the M18 Motorway to the South. Unity Town, Unity Living and Unity Link are also accessed off this new link road.
Unity is one of the largest regeneration and infrastructure projects of its kind in the UK and will deliver a mixed use development of regional importance.
Unity will provide over 3,000 new homes in a broad range of settings and styles, a new town centre, offline marina, school, and transport hub. There are over 60 hectares (150 acres) dedicated to a variety of new commercial uses.
Unity Energy provides three development plots to the north of Unity Town and due west of Unity Living, Unity Link and Unity Connect. The three plots will bill accessed directly from the new link road 'Unity Gate' which provides a new 2.9 kilometre (1.8 mile) route from junction 5 of the M18 motorway (where the M180 joins the M18) to Hatfield, Dunscroft and Stainforth, thereby improving access to the nearby railway station and the motorway network.
