Logicor gets thumbs up for 330,000 sq ft North West scheme

Logicor has secured planning consent for a 330,000 sq ft sustainable warehouse in the North West. The site at Little Hulton, Greater Manchester, was previously a warehouse for retailer Littlewoods. It will be known as Bolton 330 when works are complete. The developer said it has a “sharp focus” on redeveloping existing assets to help it reach a 36% carbon reduction target by 2030. The new site is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings and will have PV panels. Other sustainability features include LED lighting, EV charging points and rainwater harvesting. The office pod will have a green roof to support local biodiversity and there will be an outdoor gym for site employees to use. Works are set to start in Q3 2024, with completion planned for Q4 2025. Charlie Howard, UK managing director at Logicor, said: “We’ve continued to see demand for sustainable assets in prime locations grow. “Logicor’s Bolton 330 has strong sustainability credentials, which paired with the connectivity of its central location, makes it a unique and compelling offer on the market.” See planning information for Greater Manchester>>
