The Mid-Kent economy is set to benefit after Gallagher Properties, part of Gallagher Group the Maidstone-based building, civil engineering, quarrying and property business, has been given the green light to start work on what could be a new home for up to 15 businesses.
Gallagher Properties has secured planning permission from Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council to develop 42,000 sq ft (plus mezzanines) of new industrial warehouse units with trade counters at Nepicar Park, on the A20, close to Junction 2a of the M26, near Wrotham.
Formally known as The Poplars, the new units at Nepicar Park will mostly be around 2,500 sq ft each (plus mezzanine floors), or multiples of the same by omitting party walls.
The new premises are ideally located for businesses needing quick access to the M20, M25 and the national motorway network.
Nick Yandle of Gallagher Properties, said: “We have already had a strong level of interest in the units. With the continuing economic upturn and the lack of supply of good quality units, we have the confidence to invest speculatively in the construction of this new development. We anticipate work commencing the third quarter of this year and being complete by the second quarter of 2016.”
Nepicar Park will offer high quality industrial and trade counter-based units with a steel portal frame with feature cladding and brick elevations, each with 5.5 metre high entrance doors and three phase power supply.
The buildings will be built as ‘developer shell’ to allow occupiers to fit them out to their specific requirements. The units have allocated loading and parking areas, and will be available on a freehold or leasehold basis.
