Indurent, a developer and operator of industrial and logistics space across the UK, has secured detailed planning approval to deliver c.385,000 sq ft of modern, sustainable industrial and logistics space across two units in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, UK.
Indurent will deliver the two units, comprising c.300,000 sq ft and c.85,000 sq ft respectively, as part of the wider 127-acre mixed-use Uttoxeter SUE scheme. Each unit will be delivered to the ‘Indurent Code’ of sustainable development, targeting a minimum of BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A or A+ rating. Each building will provide high-specification office space alongside an adaptable industrial floorplate.
The wider site, which received outline planning consent in 2022, will deliver 4.6 hectares of employment space alongside up to 162 new homes and new landscaped areas for local residents and workers. Indurent Park Uttoxeter is expected to create 580 new full-time jobs once complete, as well as 160 construction roles during the development process.
Indurent Park Uttoxeter is located adjacent to the A50 and A522, providing a direct road connection to the northern bypass, which is situated between Stoke-on-Trent and Derby, and offering customers access to transport connections to the wider Midlands and north west of England. Uttoxeter’s prime location in the West Midlands also provides customers with access to Staffordshire’s strong local workforce. Its excellent regional and national road connections, combined with the sector’s favourable pay relative to other UK industries, make the park an attractive destination for talented local workers.
Jessica Evans, Senior Planning Manager at Indurent, commented: “Indurent Park Uttoxeter will provide a significant boost to Staffordshire’s economy, through the creation of over 700 jobs across a range of employment types in the construction and operational phases. The development will create high-quality, modern and sustainable workspaces suitable for businesses across industrial and distribution industries, as well as high-growth sectors that are expanding in the West Midlands, such as advanced manufacturing.”
This latest planning consent forms part of Indurent’s ambitious growth plans, with the company targeting portfolio growth through acquisitions and more than 2 million sq ft of development per year from its c.27 million sq ft consented landbank.
