Hundreds of jobs could be created after multi-million pound plans for a major new commercial warehouse in Speke were signed off.
Since 2019, existing buildings at the HP Chemie Pelzer site on Speke Hall Avenue have lay vacant and fallen into disrepair. Now, a real estate asset fund is to pump in millions of pounds to create a major new site in South Liverpool.
The city council’s planning committee has signed off on an application by AEW UK Core Property Fund to construct a new warehouse and offices of more than 18,000sqm. Planning documents released by Liverpool Council said: “The warehouse building would be positioned on an east-west axis across almost the full width of the site with the offices positioned in the NW corner to address the site entrance.
