British Land has received planning consent for a 644,000 sq ft multi-storey logistics scheme in Thurrock, Essex.
Construction of the scheme, which is located next to Junction 31 of the M25, will commence in Q1 2025.
Upon completion, it will deliver two storeys of flexible, sustainable warehousing and in line with British Land’s ‘Greener Spaces’ pillar of its 2030 sustainability strategy, the scheme will target BREEAM Outstanding.
British Land has received consent to deliver 1.3m sq ft of new logistics space this year, across sites in Southwark, Paddington, Enfield and Thurrock.
Mike Best, head of logistics at British Land, said: “We’ve been extremely busy working on our London urban logistics pipeline, and have received planning consents for four schemes this year. This enables us to deliver a number of high quality new logistics space to meet the growing demand, underpinned by the growth of e-commerce and rising customer expectations on the speed and convenience of deliveries.
“Our schemes provide occupiers with much needed future-proofed warehousing in high-demand locations, and we continue to actively explore opportunities for high quality logistics spaces in urban markets.”
