£26m industrial scheme plans get the go-ahead

Evans Property Group has secured detailed planning consent for a £26m speculative industrial scheme in Staffordshire.

Phase one of Fradley Link will deliver 280,000 sq ft of units at Fradley Park in Lichfield. The two units will comprise 78,500 sq ft and 204,500 sq ft and target BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A-ratings.

EV charging facilities, solar panel-ready roofing, symphonic drainage and cycle storage will feature on-site.

Occupiers will join tenants such as DHL, Screwfix, Tesco and Yodel on Fradley Park and its 300 acres of space for distribution, warehousing and manufacturing.

GMI Construction started on site in July and expects the units to become available for occupation from Q2 2025.

Agents acting on the scheme are Avison Young and JLL.

Phase two at Fradley Link will deliver up to 100,000 sq ft of new accommodation subject to detailed planning consent.

Richard Bean, portfolio director at Evans Property Group, said: “Evans Property Group are thrilled to announce we are speculatively developing phase one at Fradley Link, a new sustainable industrial and logistics development at Fradley Park, Lichfield. Phase one will offer up high quality, sustainable logistics accommodation fronting the A38, with easy access to the M6 toll and M42 motorway network.”
