Network Space celebrates Speke success 

Liverpool City Council this morning approved the developer’s plans for a 128,000 sq ft shed at Estuary Business Park. 

Network Space wants to build the warehouse on the 6.7-acre former Northern Airfield site off Leeward Drive. 

The AEW Architects-designed scheme would deliver a 117,000 sq ft industrial unit with 11,000 sq ft of first-floor office space. 

Visitors would be provided with 153 parking spaces, including 16 electric vehicle, nine accessible, eight motorbike, and 10 cycle bays. 

The site was formerly home to the first Liverpool Speke Airport. The airport was closed in 1986 and the business park site is now vacant. 

Plans for the project were submitted in November last year. 

Spawforths is the planning consultant for the scheme. Also on the project team is transport consultant Pell Frischmann, engineering consultant Hannan Associates, noise consultant Red Acoustics, and environmental consultant RPS. 

To find out more about the plans, search for application number 22F/3047 on Liverpool City Council’s planning portal. 

Network Space’s current projects include the redevelopment of the 28-acre former Sovereign Distillery site in Huyton and a similar scheme on the former Cartwright site on Atlantic Street in Altrincham.
