British Land has received planning consent for a 644,000 sq ft multi-storey logistics scheme in Thurrock, Essex.  

The project will provide occupiers with purpose-built logistics space suitable for use as a hub for last-mile deliveries and returns.

Upon completion, the scheme will deliver two storeys of flexible, sustainable warehousing.

Mike Best, Head of Logistics at British Land, said: “We’ve been extremely busy working on our London Urban Logistics pipeline, and have received planning consents for four schemes this year. This enables us to deliver a number of high-quality new logistics space to meet the growing demand, underpinned by the growth of e-commerce and rising customer expectations on the speed and convenience of deliveries.”

It is due to begin construction in Q1 2025 and will be located adjacent to Junction 31 of the M25.
