Next 200,000 sq ft of sheds at Kingsway approved
Wilson Bowden has been given permission to build two industrial units on a vacant 11-acre plot at the Rochdale logistics park.
The larger unit would provide 116,500 sq ft of employment space, and the smaller 87,000 sq ft.
DLA Architecture drew up the plans for the warehouses, which would be accessed off James Kearns Avenue.
Visitors would have access to 179 car parking spaces, including 18 electric vehicle charging. There would also be five motorcycle, 11 disabled, and 31 cycle spaces.
Pegasus Group is the scheme’s planning consultant. BWB is the engineering and environmental consultant.
The application went to committee in February, and was deferred due to concerns over the layout of the scheme.
Since then, the two units have been slightly repositioned.
