Asset manager FI Real Estate Management has secured consent for a 27,000 sq ft new build scheme in Runcorn, and struck a deal to buy a further 833,000 sq ft of North Wales warehouse space.
Firem sought planning permission for 27,000 sq ft of commercial space across 13 units on land to the west of the junction between Hardwick Road and Astmoor Road, within Astmoor Industrial Park.
Modern City Architecture & Urbanism has designed the scheme, which will take up a vacant, narrow two-acre plot close to the River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal. The proposal was amended slightly from an earlier wish to develop aorund 32,000 sq ft.
Two new cycle routes to be introduce in Runcorn to cope with Covid demand Two new cycle routes could be built in Runcorn as efforts to encourage cycling after the pandemic continue. The first would link Runcorn town centre to Sci-Tech Daresbury, starting on Bridge Street and going through the Astmoor Industrial Estate. The second route would make the cycleway between Halton Lea and Murdishaw permanent by building a cycle path alongside the road, replacing the current, temporary path on the carriageway. The plans were welcomed by Halton councillors last night as members of the Environment and Urban Renewal Policy and Performance Board endorsed the proposals.
