British Land has received planning permission for a 455,000 sq ft multi-level logistics hub at Heritage House in Enfield.
The main building will be split into two levels allowing HGVs to access both the ground and first floor service yards. The building has been designed with a flexible layout which offers the potential for sub-division.
British Land acquired the existing 200,000 sq ft Heritage House site, which is currently let to Waitrose and Crown Record management, in 2021.
The site is located near junction 25 of the M25 and the developer is targeting BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A rating for the scheme.
All available roof space will be used for solar photovoltaics which, combined with air source heat pumps, will offset 80% of the site’s carbon emissions, according to the developer.
Mike Best, head of logistics at British Land, said: “Following a successful planning outcome at Paddington Central earlier this year, we are delighted to have received consent in Enfield for our first multi-level scheme. Our densification and repurposing strategy will help address the acute shortage of prime logistics space in London. With over 1m sq ft of urban logistics schemes currently in planning, we have exciting opportunities ahead where we can leverage our skills delivering complex developments across the capital.”
