HBD has submitted a planning application for a further 70,911 sq ft of industrial and logistics space at Airport Business Park Southend.
The developer, which is part of Henry Boot, is seeking planning consent for nine industrial and logistics units ranging from 4,459 sq ft to 9,872 sq ft, plus a single detached unit of 16,451 sq ft.
It is targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating for the units at the business park, which is a partnership between HBD and Southend City Council.
Ed Hutchinson, managing director of HBD, said: “Each of the 10 units are designed specifically for SMEs, providing the right space, connectivity and infrastructure for businesses looking to scale. Coupled with the Launchpad and various other facilities available on-site, occupiers benefit from a collaborative ecosystem designed to support growth. Subject to planning permission, we hope to start work on-site next summer.”
