Pembury prevails with Knowsley industrial

AJA Architects is advising Pembury on the proposals alongside Chroma Planning.
The proposals aim to meet EPC A and BREEAM ‘excellent’ criteria, representing a 36.6% reduction in carbon compared to building regulations Part L2A, according to a planning statement by Chroma.
Pembury was founded in 2020 and is headed up by directors James Wright and Russell Taylor.
As well as its Knowsley project, the company is also developing 140,000 sq ft of industrial space off Kingmoor Road in Carlisle.
Pembury is also redeveloping the eight-acre former Weetabix factory site at Earlstrees Industrial Estate in Corby into a 161,000 sq ft modern complex.
