Indurent wins planning consent for c.430,000 sq ft logistics development in Lichfield

Indurent, a logistics developer created through the merger of Industrials REIT and St Modwen Logistics, has got the go ahead for a new 432,000 sq ft industrial and logistics development in Staffordshire.

Indurent Park Lichfield will comprise eight mid-box units ranging from 36,000 sq ft to 83,000 sq ft. Construction of the speculatively developed facility is expected to start in 2025, with the first phase of completion due in 2026.

Each unit will be delivered to BREEAM Excellent standard as a minimum and EPC A, with solar panels on all roofs. The energy generated from solar is expected to offset on-site energy demand by around 75%, with all office space in the development powered by renewable energy.

The scheme is also forecast to deliver a 13% biodiversity net gain through the planting of new woodland and grassland on site.

Jessica Evans, senior planning manager at Indurent, said: “The approval of Indurent Park Lichfield will help to address the region’s acute undersupply of modern mid-box warehousing and deliver significant social and economic value for the region. Having engaged extensively with the local community throughout the planning process, the approval builds on Indurent’s successful track record of development in Staffordshire, where we provide over 3m sq ft of high-quality space and support the success of customers of all sizes seeking to benefit from the Midlands’ national connectivity and large, skilled workforce.”

Indurent Park Lichfield is adjacent to the Swinfen Interchange roundabout, which provides access to the nearby M6 motorway and enables occupiers to serve a broad catchment across Staffordshire and the wider Midlands.
