Green light for Black Country industrial scheme

Commercial property developers Graftongate and Cilldara Group have secured planning consent for a new sustainable logistics scheme in the West Midlands.

Walsall Council has granted permission for the development of a former Holiday Inn complex on a vacant 5.4-acre site off Wolverhampton Road West in Bentley, Walsall.

Graftongate will speculatively develop a single 90,000 sq ft unit which will include office space and secure parking.

The new development will be known as Walsall 90 and green tech at the scheme will include photovoltaic panels and electric vehicle charging. It is due to be available for occupation early next year.

Graftongate's construction director James Martyn-Smith said: "Walsall 90 offers prospective occupiers the chance to create a premium quality logistics unit to meet their needs.

"We will be delivering a highly efficient development, loaded with sustainable features, that will appeal to a range of businesses."

Property firms Savills and JLL have been appointed joint agencies on the scheme.
