THE APPLICATION was submitted to Warwick Council in the Summer for up to 420,000 ft2 of industrial and logistics space, comprising 12 units in nine buildings ranging from 12,560 ft2 to 79,490 ft2. Units 1 to 7 are stand-alone units, units 8 and 9 are semi-detached and units 10 to 12 are combined into one building, which is internally sub-divided. Eaves heights range from 6.65m clear height to 12.5m with office space from 4.9% to 12% with individual yards from 25 – 50m with dock and level access doors. The building will be built carbon net zero and target BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A+ rating.
The site to be known as SEGRO Park Whitley South, is located with direct access to the A45 and A46, with the M6 (J2) and M69 just 6 miles to the north, the M45 8 miles east, and the M40 (J15) 12 miles south-west.
The Site’s western boundary is formed by an area of Community Park, known as the ‘Baginton Loops’. Pedestrian access to Baginton Loops will be provided to enable visitors and employees at the scheme to take advantage of this open space. The Site will be landscaped to filter views and provide habitat creation and amenity space.
