The developer has gained approval for a hybrid planning application for 1.1million sq. ft. of development, comprising detailed consent for two buildings of 163,500 sq. ft. and 241,000 sq. ft. – with outline permission for a further c.700,000 sq. ft. of build-to-suit opportunities.

The project is expected to generate 1,200 new jobs in operation and generate £62million GVA per annum.

Jonathan Dawes, head of planning at Tritax Symmetry commented: “We are pleased that Stroud District Council has approved this application. This decision undoubtedly paves the way for further growth and investment in the wider Gloucester area.”

Joseph Skinner, development director at Tritax Symmetry continued: “The site occupies a prominent position on the strategic motorway route (M5, J12) linking the Midlands to the south-west. The detailed consent for two buildings of 163,500 sq. ft. and 241,000 sq. ft. enables us to deliver new logistics facilities quickly and give much-needed supply for high-quality units over 100,000 sq. ft.”
