Developer Chancerygate and impact investor Bridges Fund Management have lodged plans to develop a 170,000 sq ft urban logistics space in Adlington, Cheshire.
Called Avro Business Park, the proposed scheme has a projected gross development value of around £36m and is located off London Road, south of Poynton town centre.
The partners intend to develop a scheme comprising 11 facilities ranging between 7,000 sq ft to 29,000 sq ft.
All proposed spaces will be fitted with active and passive electric vehicle charging points and solar cells on their roofs. Features also include high-performance building materials to reduce CO2 emissions and occupier operation costs.
The developers are targeting a BREEAM rating of Excellent and EPC A+, as well as net zero carbon status for regulated energy.
Nearby occupiers to the proposed development include confectionery manufacturer Swizzels, tray sealing and packaging line specialist Proseal, and transport company William Kirk.
Chancerygate development director Chris Brown, said: “The site is now accessible to a very diverse range of occupiers, and we have already received strong interest to satisfy larger design and build requirements from occupiers who are desperate to expand or consolidate their operations in the Cheshire/South Manchester area.”
Guy Bowden, partner at Bridges Fund Management, said: “At Avro Park, we’re aiming to develop a high-quality scheme that will create up to 250 jobs and support the growth of the local economy. As always, we’re focused on achieving the highest possible sustainability standards – not only because it’s better for the planet but also because it makes the units more attractive to the many potential occupiers locally.”
Savills and Williams Sillitoe are the agents for Avro Business Park.
