Prologis has secured planning permission for an additional 280,000 sq ft at Prologis Park Hemel Hempstead.
The next wave of development will deliver five new units ranging from 19,000 and 75,000 sq ft at Maylands Business Park.
In line with Prologis UK’s sustainability commitments, the units will all include a rooftop solar array and the developer is targeting an EPC A+ and BREEAM Outstanding rating for the development, which will be net zero carbon in construction.
Caroline Musker, head of planning at Prologis UK, said: “Gaining permission for our expansion to Prologis Park Hemel Hempstead is an example of what a truly effective partnership can look like. Over the years of working with Dacorum Borough Council, we have formed a deep understanding of what each other wants, resulting in the ability to deliver seamless packages of work.
“It is a privilege to be developing in such a great urban location and to be a part of a growing community. We look forward to seeing the units come out of the ground in 2024.”
Councillor Sheron Wilkie, from Dacorum Borough Council, added: “Prologis UK continually proves itself to be a valuable and meaningful partner to the borough, and we were pleased to collaborate in such a meaningful way on this development.
“The success of our partnership approach over the years has resulted in a number of swift planning applications, with the five new units at Prologis Park Hemel Hempstead the most recent. As our community continues to grow, we’re pleased to have Prologis UK grow with us, and in particular are looking forward to seeing how its developments help those in our community find work.”
