A development featuring a 57,000 sq ft storage facility and a 37,000 sq ft container park next to the existing Fulwood Central retail park has been granted consent by Preston City Council.
Austringer Capita’s scheme will see the demolition of an existing industrial unit on the site and the creation of a 138,000 sq ft mixed-use development, acting as an extension to the neighbouring retail park.
The 8.4-acre development site is allocated for employment use under Preston’s local plan and sits to the north of Oliver’s Place.
Austringer’s project is split into three parts. The first element of the proposal features around 30,000 sq ft of retail space, including a supermarket, as well as a five-storey storage facility, a 20,000 sq ft gym and 26,000 sq ft of indoor leisure.
