Logistics City Andover Secures Planning Consent at Walworth Business Park
Logistics City Andover has successfully secured a detailed planning consent for a new and revised 452,000 sq ft scheme at Walworth Business Park, Andover.
The proposal was determined at Committee, where a resolution to grant permission was approved, subject to a S106 Agreement.
The approved scheme will deliver four high-quality industrial units ranging from 31,695 sq ft to 219,185 sq ft, providing modern, flexible accommodation designed to meet the needs of a wide range of occupiers.
The investment in a detailed planning application demonstrates a commitment to delivering a high-quality, future-focused development that aligns with modern institutional standards and the evolving requirements of the industrial and logistics market.
The development responds to the increasing demand for low-carbon, energy-efficient industrial space, aligning with modern ESG standards.
Key sustainability measures include:
- Targeting a minimum ‘Very Good’ BREEAM rating, with an ambition to reach ‘Excellent’.
- Multiple EV charging points to accommodate the transition to electric fleets and personal vehicles.
- A minimum 10% biodiversity net gain, achieved through offsite improvements and targeted green infrastructure initiatives.
- Dedicated cycle storage and a new cycle path connecting the site to the adjacent village and town centre, promoting eco-friendly commuting options.
The four buildings will incorporate high-performance materials, insulation and water-efficient technologies to minimise environmental impact and reduce operational carbon emissions.
These measures ensure that Logistics City Andover will provide a high-quality industrial hub while supporting the sustainability aspirations of occupiers and the wider community.
The site’s strategic location and the established business community at Walworth Business Park make Logistics City Andover an ideal destination for businesses seeking to relocate, expand or establish a presence in the region.
Key highlights of the approved scheme:
- 452,000 sq ft across four units comprising: 31,695 sq ft, 63,005 sq ft, 138,540 sq ft & 219,185 sq ft (GEA – gross external area).
- High-quality institutional specification providing building heights ranging from 10m to 15m eaves.
- All four units will have between 4 and 22 dock levellers.
- Situated within the established Walworth Business Park, offering excellent connectivity and access to a wide range of amenities.
The proposed development will also incorporate comprehensive site-wide sustainable travel measures, including:
- Car sharing spaces: designated areas to support car-sharing schemes.
- Cycle storage: secure bike storage.
- Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations: charging points to encourage the use of electric vehicles and other sustainable transport options.
Via a S106 Agreement, the development will provide a significant financial contribution towards pedestrian and cycle improvements into Andover, together with funding for the delivery of a new footpath link.
