Business park set for pizza the action
THE pizza company Domino’s has submitted a planning application for a 117,000sq ft warehouse at Omega South in Warrington.
Domino’s Pizza Development has tabled a reserved matters application for a supply chain centre at the massive development.
Omega Warrington Ltd is now seeking to host a second manufacturer to the site now the Domino’s deal is pending.
The application for new business premises includes space for production, storage and distribution, a two-storey office, parking and a substation.
The application, covering a 2.24 hectares plot, to the east of the new ASDA unit, will also include a small access road leading off Skyline Drive and landscaping works.
Andrew Sutherland, joint MD of Miller Developments and partner in OWL said: “Pending a positive planning determination and the completion of legal agreements, we look forward to welcoming another big brand to Omega South.
“We are particularly encouraged by the imminent Domino’s Pizza deal as this will mark the second manufacturer on Omega South, following car parts production firm, Plastic Omnium; this is a very positive story for Warrington’s manufacturing industry.”
Michael Botha, commercial director at Domino’s Pizza Group, said: “This state of the art facility will balance our supply chain infrastructure nationally and enhance our business resilience. In addition, it will support our planned growth in the region and bring our fresh, handmade pizzas to even more people.
“Subject to planning, Domino’s Pizza Group is investing circa £30million in the new facility, which will service 450 Domino’s stores across the North and provide jobs to over 120 people in the local area.”
It is expected that a decision on the latest reserved matters application will be made by Warrington Borough Council over the next couple of months.
Omega Warrington Ltd is a joint venture between Miller Developments and KUC Properties Ltd, in partnership with landowner the Homes and Communities Agency and supported by Warrington Borough Council and the Cheshire and Warrington LEP.
