XPO Logistics has submitted a planning application for a new circa £40m logistics hub at a site bounded by Edinburgh Road and Legbrannock Road in Newarthill, Motherwell.
The aim is to address a market-proven requirement for large-scale warehousing facilities in the region, as well as delivering biodiversity enhancement measures over the more than 40-acre site, which adjoins the company’s existing transport hub.
The global logistics provider is seeking to deliver a 300,000 square foot warehouse for storage and distribution, with associated offices.
