Purpose

********* is an SME business with a head
office based in Harrogate, with an additional 2 clinics, one based
in Morley, Leeds and the other based on the outskirts of Hull close
to Alanby. They are looking to set up a 3rd clinic to capitalise on
the demise of their main competitor in South Yorkshire and they
have been looking at various premises here in Doncaster as well as
Rotherham and Sheffield. They are looking to address the growing
enquiry demand within our region; to further develop partnerships
with the NHS locally, who want to contract out this specialist
service and trial new technologically advanced treatment methods,
to not only address the shortfall in current delivery, but to
support huge reductions in future rehabilitation timelines.
******** provide Intensive Outpatient Neurological Rehabilitation
and launched the UK’s first Intensive Neurological
Rehabilitation centre augmented with Robotics and Virtual Reality
technology in April 2018. ******* was quickly recognised by the
Financial Times, Google and leading European policy makers for
technological innovation, leading digital change and challenging an
industry sector with a disruptive business model in the field of
rehabilitation.
Following the success of the Leeds clinic, **** decided to expand
its services and open a second Intensive Neurological
Rehabilitation Centre at its clinic in Hull, in December
2020.
There is a long-term plan for the Doncaster site, with a potential
lease of 10 years with a 5 year break clause. The Doncaster site
will initially start with a small workforce of up to 9 jobs being
created in year one, although plans are being developed to expand
the team by the end of year 3 to a potential team of 20, creating
even more highly skilled jobs.
See attached Officer Decision Record for further details.
