Plans for the first large-scale industrial and warehouse scheme in Bicester, Oxfordshire, for more than 15 years have been unveiled by developer Albion Land.
The new development, Link 9, is located on the A4421 perimeter road on the north-east side of the town.
Total investment in the development is estimated to be in the region of £50m and the 36-acre site will accommodate up to 520,000 sq ft of industrial space.
Plans for the project were approved by Cherwell District Council on 17 March.
Buildings will range from 80,000 sq ft to 250,000 sq ft provided on a freehold or leasehold basis. The site provides the only opportunity in Bicester that has outline planning consent and can be brought forward for development immediately.
VSL & Partners, Colliers International and White Commercial have been appointed to market the site to occupiers.
Simon Parsons, director of Albion Land, said: “The town is growing rapidly and the mix of an expanding population, excellent road communications and the buoyant Oxfordshire economy is resulting in a high level of demand from companies wanting new premises in Bicester.”
Tom Barton, director at VSL & Partners, added: “This will be the largest industrial and warehouse scheme in the area for over 15 years and the first to come forward following the Cherwell Local Plan. Link 9 is well placed to capture the strong demand from both local and national businesses.”
