Chancerygate has received planning permission to speculatively build 103,000 sq ft of Grade A urban logistics space in Southwater, near Horsham.
The circa £27m GDV Audio Park development will comprise seven units ranging from 8,325 sq ft to 33,940 sq ft on a 4.59-acre site. The units will be available on a freehold and leasehold basis.
All of the units will feature electric vehicle charging points, low air permeability design and solar cells on their roofs, which will provide green energy on an affordable basis to occupiers. Chancerygate is targeting BREEAM Very Good and an EPC B rating as a minimum for the scheme.
Matthew Young, development director at Chancerygate, said: “There is strong demand for sustainable, Grade A urban logistics units in Horsham and the wider Sussex region. Audio Park will meet this demand and enable occupiers in the locality to access high-specification, strategically located industrial warehouse accommodation.
“Much of the existing urban logistics stock in mid-Sussex is second hand with low sustainability credentials and is only available on a leasehold basis. We have already seen strong interest in the scheme and anticipate this will only further grow now planning has been granted.”
Graves Jenkins and JLL are agents for the development.
