Yorkshire’s Biggest Opportunity, Anchoring the Region’s Advanced Manufacturing Future
THE LARGEST CONSENTED DEVELOPMENT IN YORKSHIRE
The South Yorkshire Airport City (SYAC) and GatewayEast proposals consist of five complementary districts, designed to integrate employment and residential spaces around a new ‘Central Plaza’. This new town centre will feature retail and community amenities, all connected by sustainable walking and cycling routes. Spanning 1,760 acres, this development is built upon a collaborative partnership with the goal of creating a pioneering model for sustainable growth. It will include an urban extension, an innovation quarter supported by an investment zone, and new homes, all alongside the Council’s commitment to a vibrant and thriving airport. With the Airport lease agreement from landowner Peel Land to Doncaster Council finalised in March 2024, and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) progressing the region’s capabilities in advanced manufacturing, this site stands as the largest consented development in Yorkshire. With strong governance and significant momentum, the project is now poised to move into delivery to accelerate growth in the region.
AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING INVESTMENT ZONE
GatewayEast is a key site within the South Yorkshire Advanced manufacturing Investment Zone, building on the region’s established strengths and significant existing business base. A coordinated approach to the infrastructure and investment strategy is required to accelerate delivery of this 242ha IZ site, unlocking 3.5m sqft of development at the Innovation Quarter (IQ) and airside development at Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
A globally connected hub for innovation, growth, and opportunity.
