Planning specialist expands offices within ‘transformational’ Yorkshire development

A planning and development specialist has expanded its head office facilities within a Yorkshire town centre development.

Rural Solutions has taken the last available space in the Belle Vue Square development on Broughton Road in Skipton.

The firm has taken additional space within The Cotton Mill building in the Belle Vue Square complex, which comprises around 150,000 sq ft of office, leisure and residential space, as well as a landscaped civic square, within a cluster of listed former mill buildings.

Taking additional space within The Cotton Mill building in the complex, Rural Solutions’ expansion of its existing offices marks the letting of the last available space within the development.

William Fry, managing director of Rural Solutions, explained: “We moved to Canalside House in 2014 after 20 years at The Broughton Hall Estate. It’s a superb location, opposite Skipton’s train station and so close to the town centre, and its waterside position is very attractive.

“As our business has continued to flourish, the team has more than doubled over the last five years alone, we need additional space for our ever-expanding team.

“Crucially, this expansion also provides us with a range of high quality and easily accessible meeting rooms in an inspirational environment that will benefit clients and suppliers, as well as our entire team.

Richard Baker from Rushbond added: “We are really pleased to work with an existing tenant to facilitate their ongoing expansion.

“We have successfully established a mixed use community within this part of Skipton, and our stand-out development of homes, office, retail and leisure space, has played an important role in the regeneration of these fabulous and iconic mill buildings.”
