CWAC approves £12m Northwich self-storage

WUKPG has secured planning approval for a 62,000 sq ft complex of Chester Way and has appointed Savills to market the site for sale.

Cheshire West and Chester Council has given the developer consent for the proposal, which was submitted in early 2025.

The £12m scheme features 600 self-storage units across five levels to be operated under WUKPG’s Shutter Store brand. The scheme also features an on-site coffee shop.

The developer, which is planning to build a £150m self-storage portfolio by 2030, acquired the one-acre site from Adlington Homes, part of Gladman Developments, in 2021.

At that time, the plot had planning permission for a 50-apartment extra care scheme.

The project also features living walls and EV charging. The developer is targeting BREAAM Excellent accreditation.

C4 Projects is leading on design HK Planning advised on the application. XO Square is the structural and civil engineer.
