Some 1,000 new jobs in logistics and warehousing jobs are on the way for Cheshire. A planning application has been submitted for a 1,020,000 sq ft warehouse near Crewe.
The 102-acre site, at Radway Green, is owned by Warehouse REIT and is situated close to junction 16 of the M6 motorway. Consent for an 803,000 sq ft logistics scheme was obtained in 2021 but a new application for a further 1 million sq ft is now pending approval.
The new units are expected to attract a mix of wholesale and trade distribution, food and general manufacturing and transport and 3PL companies and online retail distribution firms to locate into the new facility, reports Cheshire Live.

The plan is the work of 'last-mile' industrial warehouse investor, Warehouse REIT, and joint venture partner Panattoni, the largest logistics real estate developer in Europe.
The first phase of the project will start on site in September 2022, with the first units available for occupation in winter 2023.
Dan Burn, Development Director for the North West and Yorkshire at Panattoni, said: “We are delighted to be bringing forward this strategic and important logistics site alongside Warehouse REIT to help meet the demand in the market. We look forward to delivering the first phase of units creating new opportunities in the market for our global clients.”
