Tritax Big Box Developments (TBBD) has submitted a planning application to bring forward the next phase of development at Symmetry Park Rugby.
The 1.4 million sq ft hybrid application includes a detailed proposal for a 300,000 sq ft logistics unit and the creation of Cawston Landscape Park (CLP), a 20-acre green space featuring new footpaths linked to existing public rights of way, communal orchards with edible planting, and levelled areas for informal sports and play.
Symmetry Park is already home to Iron Mountain, which occupies 1 million sq ft. This initial commitment in 2022 marked the launch of its first UK campus to offer a wide range of services.
In July this year, TBBD completed the letting of unit 5, a speculatively built 391,000 sq ft facility to a data management company on a 15-year lease.
Two further speculatively developed facilities remain available comprising 338,064 sq ft (unit 6) and 170,473 sq ft (unit 7) on a leasehold basis. The buildings have been built to net-zero carbon in construction standards and have a BREEAM “Excellent” and EPC A+ rating.
Joseph Skinner, Development Director at TBBD, explained: “Located at the heart of the logistics Golden Triangle, Rugby represents an established major distribution and manufacturing location. Organisations who choose to be based here can benefit from access to a highly skilled work force, as well as access to major infrastructure routes. The creation of the new park will provide additional amenities to the public and we look forward to working in partnership with local stakeholders to bring this forward.
“With Iron Mountain already operating here and strong occupational market demand, we believe it is the opportune time to bring forward this next phase. Subject to planning approval, the site will be developed on a speculative / design and build basis with units up to 1 million sq ft available.”
The site forms part of the wider South West Rugby Urban Extension which will also add 5,000 new homes, bringing forward further labour and amenity benefits.
