Plans for big logistics warehouse submitted

A PLANNING application has been submitted for a 175,000sq ft logistics warehouse facility at Liverpool International Business Park.

Peel Logistics has submitted the proposal for the scheme designed by AEW Architects.

The project comprises a single 12.5metre high unit with proportions to suit logistics operations together with a full length service yard.

AEW’s specialist industrial team produced a concept that has created a theme for the appearance of Peel Logistics industrial developments which will be used across the portfolio.

Managing director of AEW Steve Burne said: ““We have been working closely with Peel Logistics to create a new brand identity for its industrial portfolio and by engaging with the supply chain, we were able to create an efficient and functional product that responds to the needs of the market.
 
“We have a wealth of experience in this sector and are working on a number of other high profile industrial schemes across the North West, including for Peel Logistics and Peel Ports with over 2 million sq ft at Port Cheshire and Knowsley.”

Development director at Peel Logistics  Matthew Fitton said: “Peel Logistics is committed to bringing forward development opportunities within the portfolio and the submission of the full planning application for a warehousing facility is an example of us preparing oven ready sites, so when an occupational requirement comes forward we are well positioned to react quickly to the increasingly competitive delivery  timescales that the market requires.
 
“Having sites fully serviced with planning consents in place is key achieving this oven ready concept.”
