IMA Architects submits planning application submitted for 100,000 sq ft manufacturing facility

A planning application has been submitted by IMA Architects to Rushcliffe Borough Council for Plot A2, a 100,600 sq ft purpose-built facility at Fairham Business Park on behalf of Clowes Developments.

It will be located between Plot A4, a 100,000 sq ft unit which is currently under construction and the recently completed facility for SLS Medical which is now on site and fully operational.

Ben Hall, Director, IMA Architects commented on the planning application: “IMA are delighted to submit another planning application to Rushcliffe Borough Council for Fairham Business Park. The level of interest and quality of potential occupiers is very encouraging for the brand-new neighbourhood. Offering excellent tailored facilities for businesses looking to make Fairham Business Park their home is providing further investment, local jobs and bringing economic opportunity to the area. Our latest application will further bolster this trend.”

The brand-new purpose-built manufacturing premises will be comprised of a 76,520 sq ft single-story warehouse with 24,000 sq ft office and welfare space over two storeys.

At the front of the building, there will be 152 car parking spaces with 16 electric vehicle (EV) charging bays. A large service yard will be located to the rear with 2 dock levellers and 3 level access to meet the needs of the occupier.

Clowes Developments will be providing a fully photovoltaic (PV) ready frame, with the unit expected to be ready for occupation by the end of 2024.

James Richards, Director at Clowes Developments, said: “Since its inception, we have seen a lot of interest in Fairham Business Park. This is no doubt down to its excellent location, first-rate transport links, incredible setting and overall quality and speed of delivery of the development.

“In total, over half of Fairham Business Park, totalling 500,000 sq ft, is now sold, rented or under offer. In the last few months, we have evolved the site from a construction site to a thriving business park with two occupiers fully operational.

“The success of Fairham Business Park to date comes down to the hard work and dedication from our agents, construction contractors, professional advisors and our in-house team.”
