Plans unveiled for new industrial space in Burntwood
Plans for a new mammoth industrial space in Staffordshire have been unveiled after they were given the go ahead by planning chiefs.
Commercial property firm LCP is behind the plans for the 50,000 sq ft area at Burntwood Business Park in Burntwood.
It is believed the 50,000 sq ft space will be split up into five 10,000 sq ft units. LCP declined to say how much the scheme was costing, with potential job numbers unknown until a tenant is confirmed.
Artist impressions of the site have been revealed after planning bosses at Lichfield District Council gave the scheme the green light.
Andrew Preston, LCP's industrial portfolio manager, said his firm had built the unit after an increase in inquiries from firms looking for industrial and trade premises in the town.
He said: "We have very low levels of voids there and the level of enquiries we are receiving from businesses that want either to relocate to Burntwood or who are already there and want to expand suggests that there will be a demand for them.
“We are offering flexibility in the size of units available, which makes it an even more attractive prospect.”
Work is due to begin later this year with an anticipated completion date of summer 2018.
The new buildings, which will be steel portal frame construction, can be tailored to meet reasonable occupier requirements.
LCP owns Zones 2, 3 & 4 at Burntwood Business Park, which has more than 80 units and 765,000 sq ft of commercial property.
The park is located between Cannock and Lichfield on the A5190, six miles from junction 11 of the M6 and eight miles from junction 1 of the M54.
Junction T6 of the M6 Toll Road is less than one mile away and the A5 is one and a half miles away.
The site has mobile security patrols and 24hr CCTV security coverage. Existing tenants on the park include Ebrex UK, Staffordshire Signs & Graphics, Emak UK, Gradient Flat Roofing and Uniseal.
