Industrial units bring new employment opportunities for Milton Keynes

Stephen George + Partners (SGP) has collaborated with existing client Hampton Brook is delighted to have received planning permission for two speculative industrial/distribution facilities off Childs Way, Shenley Wood, in Milton Keynes.

The proposals seek to build two units of 72,411 sqft and 71,809 sqft on a 2.9 hectares (7.3 acres) infill site already designated for employment use. In addition to the units, the project includes ancillary office space; alterations to and creation of new accesses from the highway; car parking, service yards and external plant; and landscaping. The plans continue the development of employment and residential schemes along the H6, within close proximity of the Railway station and centre of Milton Keynes.

Explains Kenny Leadbeater, Associate at SGP: “We are excited to be working again with Hampton Brook, a privately owned property development and investment company. Our designs for this pair of quality industrial units respond to their focus on current market needs and the individual context of the site. Hampton Brook is keenly interested in the sustainability of their buildings and these units will aim to be Net Carbon Zero, as well as targeting BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A+ rating.”

Shenley Wood is the latest addition to Hampton Brook’s extensive portfolio of warehouse and industrial, office and bespoke developments, totalling over 6 million sqft delivered, with over 4 million sqft in the pipeline.

Situated near J14 of the M1 motorway, the Shenley Wood site is exceptionally well-connected to the strategic road network, making it an attractive location for logistics operators – reaching the majority of the country within four hours.

The potential start on site will be this Summer.
