LCP has received planning approval from Lichfield District Council for a new £5m trade park in Burntwood, Staffordshire. The 11-unit, 51,000 sq ft Chase Trade Park will be built on a derelict three-acre site to the west of Cannock Road and north of Robins Road.
LCP has already agreed a deal with a national joinery company to occupy 8,685 sq ft across three units and a national baked goods retailer has agreed to take an additional 1,400 sq ft. The remaining seven units range from 1,400 sq ft to 16,400 sq ft.
Nick Bryson, director (industrial) at LCP, which is part of M Core, said: “This is a significant investment for LCP after we identified a high demand for units of this size in the area. We’re pleased to have now been given planning permission for this much-needed provision on an already thriving and popular business park.
“Chase Trade Park is an opportunity for ambitious businesses to locate themselves in a strategic location, close to the M6 Toll and a few minutes from the motorway network, and also bring with them welcome job opportunities for people in the area. We’re looking forward to announcing tenants in the coming weeks and also working closely with our partners who have been appointed to deliver the trade park, so that it is ready for occupation next year.”
LCP has appointed Wainwrights as project manager, architect and quantity surveyor. NU Construction has been appointed to build the units.
