Plans for a £65m development in Lancashire which could create around 1,500 jobs have been submitted.
HBD and the Barnfield Group are behind the proposals for 25 hectares of land off Roman Way in Preston.
If approved, the development would include around 800,000 sq ft of industrial and warehouse space.

The site, an allocated employment site within Preston City Council’s Local Plan, sits to the east of the existing Roman Way Industrial Estate.
Chris Newsome, senior development surveyor at HBD, said: "The site is very well-connected, close to the motorway network and within just 1.2 miles of the M6, making it an ideal location for an industrial scheme of this caliber.
"It also sits adjacent to the very successful Roman Way Industrial Estate and would help to address the shortage of high-quality industrial space within the region, while providing thousands of new jobs."
If the planning application is successful, infrastructure work would start on site later this year.
Tracy Clavell-Bate, head of development for Barnfield Group, added: "It is great to get the site to the planning stage; it hasn’t been without its challenges, but we are sure with it being a natural extension to the existing Roman Way site, which is fully occupied, that the development will be extremely successful if planning is granted."
