The site “We are building these units to help with the scarcity of stock over the region.” The units will be used for logistical, manufacturing and office spaces, documents confirm. They will be sized between 13,100sq ft and 27,950sq ft. The plans are currently with Southampton City Council. A decision on the future of the 6.6 acre site will be decided in September. No further details have been released on which firms have applied, if any, to take over the new industrial units. Local leaders hailed the news, adding the need to bring in more jobs to the area. Councillor for Swaythling Lorna Fielker said: “I welcome further development of the Old Ford Factory site and the opportunity this brings to secure jobs for local people.”
