102,000 sq ft industrial site plans submitted
Plans for a 102,000 square foot industrial unit at a Staffordshire business park have been submitted.
Midlands commercial developer Trebor Developments has submitted plans to speculatively build the unit at the Kingswood Lakeside park, Cannock, which they hope to open for occupation in the first half of next year.
The site will be known as Rapida at Lakeside and was announced at MIPM, the international commercial property festival held in Cannes, France.
Bob Tattrie, managing partner of Trebor Developments, said: “We are delighted to bring forward a further, major, industrial development in the Midlands and to be developing again in Cannock, following the successful opening of the Gateway Retail Park in 2016.
"The new building will provide quality accommodation to B2 (manufacturing) or B8 (logistics) users, with its excellent access onto the adjacent motorway network and at 102,000 sq ft represents a size of accommodation that is not currently generally available right across the West Midlands.
"We look forward to satisfying occupiers requirements.”
Kingswood Lakeside is close to Junction 7 of the M6 Toll and Junction 11/12 of the M6. Businesses operating there include HellermannTyton and Veolia.
Staffordshire County Council’s economic growth leader Mark Winnington said: “Kingswood Lakeside is one of our flagship business parks with major companies operating there.
"There has been a lot of activity and new development on site recently and the Trebor unit will be another welcome addition.
"We have worked with Trebor at another of our sites at Redhill in Stafford and look forward to seeing this development in Cannock completed and ready for business.
"This is further demonstration of investor confidence in Staffordshire which we’re able to showcase at MIPIM.”
Cannock Chase District Council leader George Adamson said: "This is brilliant news, the site is very popular due to its links with the A34, the A5, M6 and M6 Toll, which make it an attractive proposition for developers.
"It is great that this investment is being made in Cannock, business in the area is booming."
Trebor Developments recently completed an industrial facility at the county council’s Redhill Business Park in Stafford.
Redhill Business Park is already home to some of the town’s major employers such as Screwfix, while global rail giant Alstom has been steadily relocating to the site.
