Plans submitted for redevelopment of business park
Developer and asset and property manager, FI Real Estate Management (FIREM), has submitted a detailed planning application for the redevelopment of Winnington Business Park in Northwich.
The proposed industrial redevelopment off Winnington Avenue will consist of a range of industrial units totalling 120,997 sq ft and building is expected to start early in 2021.
FIREM’s plans would see the creation of seven blocks – A to G – which could be let as a whole or individually.
All units will come with private parking and personnel access, but will vary slightly in size and offering:
- Block A – a total of seven units each offering 2,841 sq ft suitable for trade counter uses
- Block B & F – 5,000-6,000 sq ft units with eight metre eaves, and dedicated yard
- Blocks C, D, E, G start-up units from 1,000-2,500 sq ft with six metre eaves
FIREM obtained outline planning approval for the site in 2018 and sold part of it to Anwyl Homes to create 164 residential units, feeding into the council’s strategic five-year housing requirement of 4,800 new dwellings by 2023.
The new site will be well connected thanks to its location off the A533, and easy access to the M56, M6 and M60.
It is also close to Northwich town centre and Winnington Urban Village.
As the latest in a series of extensive investments in the region, Winnington Business Park will bolster FI Real Estate’s already flourishing industrial portfolio which includes Wrexham and Astmoor Industrial Estates.
A spokesperson for FIREM said: “Our investment in Winnington reflects our confidence in Northwich and the buoyant industrial market here in the North West.
“We are confident that our plans will help to revitalise the area and provide a welcome investment boost to the town more widely.”
