HBD, part of Henry Boot, has secured planning approval for two new developments at Airport Business Park Southend in Essex, spanning approximately 77,000 sq ft of industrial space.
Plot 9 will house a detached 16,451 sq ft building with car parking located at the front of the building and a service yard to the rear.
Plot 10 will see the creation of terraced units totalling 61,000 sq ft, replicating the scheme’s successful Quad development.
A dedicated loading area is set to accommodate smaller delivery vehicles, including vans and ten-metre rigid trucks, and several units will also be capable of handling large HGVs.
The core warehouse units across both schemes will be accompanied by office and amenity space, while a landscaped outdoor area will help to integrate the site into the green corridor that runs through the park.
Hamer Boot, managing director at HBD, said: “We continue to see strong demand for high-quality industrial space at Airport Business Park Southend, so it’s positive to be able to deliver an additional 77,000 sq ft.
“We’re pleased to be able to extend the scheme further, attracting new investment, supporting business growth and creating new jobs.”
Units are available on either a freehold or pre-let basis, with construction expected to begin in 2027.
Located next to London Southend Airport, ABPS provides a range of industrial and commercial space designed to support growing businesses.
HBD has now developed a total of 370,500 sq ft at the scheme, which is a joint venture partnership with Southend-on-Sea City Council, while further development is planned across the site.
The agents for Airport Business Park Southend are Dedman Gray, Kemsley and Cushman & Wakefield.
