Plans lodged for 700,000 sq ft Warwickshire logistics scheme

Outline planning permission is being sought for up to 700,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space in Warwickshire.

Richborough Commercial has submitted plans for a site at Junction 9 of the M42 in Curdworth, with hopes of creating jobs for the area and in the wider logistics sector.

The site comprises two parcels of land, with the southern parcel earmarked for development and the northern parcel, which is located next to the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, will be used for habitat creation to contribute to Biodiversity Net Gain objectives.

Nick Jones, group director of Richborough Commercial said: “Our proposed development will help deliver essential employment land and new jobs for North Warwickshire and the wider golden logistics triangle.

“Located both on a major motorway junction and some 800 metres from Hams Hall Distribution Park, the site offers tremendous potential to bring much needed jobs and ecological benefits to the area.

“We look forward to working with North Warwickshire Borough Council and its consultees to seek a positive outcome regarding the planning submission.”
