Caddick has secured planning consent for the 360,000 sq ft Ashton Park industrial scheme in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire.
The 19-acre site, which is located off Lockett Road on the edge of the existing South Lancashire Industrial Estate, has the ability to deliver one large or multiple smaller units.
Caddick is targeting BREEAM Excellent for the development, which will feature EV charging facilities, a solar-panel ready roof, battery storage areas and air source heat pumps.
Tom Park, associate director at Caddick, said: “We are incredibly pleased that Wigan Council has recognised the importance of this site through granting an outline planning consent. With the potential to generate tens of millions of pounds in local investment, Ashton Park is helping to meet the significant demand for sustainable industrial space in the North West.
“The development offers substantial scale and is strategically located within the prime M6 corridor, an area that has been undersupplied for years. This shortage is underscored by the high level of occupier demand we are currently experiencing.”
