STOFORD PARK Northwich will be capable of delivering manufacturing, industrial, and logistics units ranging from 100,000 ft2 to 600,000 ft2 on an 82-acre site adjacent to Gadbrook Park, near Junction 19 of the M6 motorway.
The proposals include a new primary substation to significantly enhance energy supply to the site and major infrastructure improvements, with an upgrade to the A556 highway junction.
The development is forecast to inject around £120 million into the construction sector, as well as creating up to 225 jobs during the construction phase and support a further 1,700 jobs once operational, generating up to £138 million annually for the local economy.
Stoford Director Angus Huntley, said: “Stoford Park Northwich represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to unlock a site that has been allocated for employment for several years and has the potential to provide much needed supply in the North West.”
The scheme is being marketed on a build-to-suit basis via retained agents DTRE.
The professional team include Asteer Planning, UMC Architects, Wakemans, JPG, BWB, Rachel Hacking Ecology, Hoare Lea, FPCR, Andy Hamer, BSA Heritage, Tree Solutions and Gateley PLC. Wallis Real Estate and HCR Law advised the Landowner.
