PLP has received detailed planning consent at its PLP MK industrial and logistics park in Milton Keynes for a single cross-dock unit of approximately 1m sq ft.
The developer said the 44-acre second phase of PLP MK, is the “only fully consented, fully serviced and plateaued site in the southern M1 corridor that can deliver a facility of this scale”.
The building, which will offer a clear height of 21m and have a total cubic capacity of approximately 1.75 million cubic metres, could be ready for occupancy within nine months of construction commencing. PLP said it intends to make a start on site “in the near future” on a pre-let or speculative basis.
The facility will follow PLP’s Carbon Net Zero (CNZ) framework, combining CNZ construction with CNZ ready design, adhering to the UK Green Building Council’s Net Zero Buildings Framework.
Edward Jackson, development director at PLP, said: “It is incredibly exciting to receive planning consent to deliver such a rare landmark facility. Not only is the scale unprecedented for the South East, but the specification is unmatched. Our CNZ framework will ensure we exceed expectations of modern logistics customers. When finished PLP MK will be a truly world class business park.”
Savills and Cushman & Wakefield are letting agents for the scheme where 1.05m sq ft of space is currently being delivered across 10 speculatively developed units.
