Plans submitted for 40-acre former BAE Systems site

Developer St Francis Group has filed an application to redevelop a former BAE Systems site at Radway Green in Crewe, into 803,000 sq ft of new industrial space.

The proposals, submitted on behalf of Warehouse REIT’s investment manager Tilstone, seek detailed consent for two units of 208,000 sq ft and 143,000 sq ft, along with outline consent for an additional 452,000 sq ft.

Infrastructure improvements will include work around the sites access off Radway Green Road. Units would be made available for occupation by the end of 2021.

Andrew Bird of Tilstone said: “As we build the portfolio of well-located estates across the UK, there are a number of opportunities to regenerate buildings which, on this occasion, will replace many of the existing warehouses.

“We will work with existing occupiers to phase the scheme, respecting the interests of all stakeholders.”

Gareth Williams, development director at St Francis Group, said: “With quick and easy access off junction 16 of the M6, it will attract a broad range of occupiers looking for a quality of space currently lacking in the area.”

Gerald Eve, DTRE and Savills are the joint letting agents on the scheme.
