Acting on behalf of Midlands based developer BBE, SPACE have successfully acquired, developed and leased a new petrol filling station on the A606 northern bypass to BP Oil Limited trading as BP and M&S Simply Food.

The development is part of the Oakham Heights Scheme by Hawksmead Estates, the first phase involving 1,100 new dwellings and the opening of the BP petrol station marks the completion of the second phase.

Further development will include 30 acres of offices, play areas and a local centre with shops and leisure facilities.

The petrol filling station opened pre-Christmas and BP have taken the site on a new 15 year lease.

A spokeswoman for BP said: “The new store format and introduction of the M&S Simply Food range means we have been able to create 22 new jobs for people the local area and offer them a wide choice of food, coffee and fuel, 24 hours a day.”

SPACE Managing Director Peter Leverett commented “this is another successful and modern development by leading PFS developers BBE. We are delighted to continue our relationship working with blue chip PFS and convenience operators and we are actively searching for further development opportunities throughout the Midlands and further afield”
