British Land has got the planning green light to build a c. 42,300m2 multi-level logistics hub in Enfield, North London. Construction of the main 40,000m2 The Heritage House near Junction 25 of the M25, will be split into two levels.
British Land is also providing c. 1,860m2 of space at the front of the site to cater to smaller occupiers. All available roof space will be used for solar photovoltaics which, combined with air-source heat pumps, will offset 80% of the site’s carbon emissions.
British Land plans to deliver a €1.5b logistics development portfolio in Greater London consisting of c. 269,400m2. The pipeline includes two sites off Old Kent Road, Finsbury Square Car Park, The Box at Paddington Central – where planning consent was received earlier this year – and sites at Wembley and Thurrock. To date, British Land has submitted planning applications for c. 148,600m2 of potential urban logistics space.
Mike Best, Head of Logistics at British Land, said: “Following a successful planning outcome at Paddington Central earlier this year, we are delighted to have received consent in Enfield for our first multi-level scheme. Our densification and repurposing strategy will help address the acute shortage of prime logistics space in London.”
