Plans in for 60,000 sq ft Widnes warehouse

Investor Avjon 3 is eyeing the three-acre plot off Shell Green to deliver the industrial building.

Designed by Martin Spencer Architecture, the scheme would create a 60,000 sq ft warehouse.

Proposals feature 53,100 sq ft of industrial space and 6,600 sq ft of office space across three floors.

Visitors would be provided with 58 car parking spaces, including 15 electric vehicle charging bays and six accessible spaces. There would also be eight cycle and four motorcycle bays, as well as 24 trailer spaces.

Currently undeveloped land, the plot sits next to Gorsey Point, a 708,000 sq ft industrial site acquired by Clarion Partners Europe from Mirastar earlier this month.

In 2021, Avjon bought five industrial units totalling 114,000 sq ft at Parkgate Industrial Estate in Knutsford from plastics distributor Albis.

Roman Summer Associates is the planning consultant for the investor’s Widnes scheme. The project team also includes transport consultant Focus Transport Planning, environmental consultant Amenity Tree, and engineering consultant Patrick Parsons.
