The proposals seek to respond to the significant need for new employment floorspace within the district and wider region. The planning application seeks permission for a range of uses including, manufacturing, storage and distribution, research and development, and industrial processes. The proposed units will provide workspace from 34,000 sq. m down to smaller flexible commercial units of between 1,500 sq. m and 1,900 sq. m.

The scheme will appeal to a range of occupiers from national companies, major local employers seeking new and larger premises as well smaller and growing local businesses. Collectively, this will help to provide a variety of jobs, including, manufacturing, supply chain and warehousing roles; distribution and logistics design; as well as managerial positions and associated roles such as HR, health and safety, finance, IT, marketing and support services.

Alongside the commercial development, a new five-acre parkland is proposed within the southern part of the site. This parkland will provide a new amenity space for the village of Gaydon, and we welcome your views as to what you would like to include within this space.
