The former Weetabix factory on the Earlstrees Industrial Estate, built in 1960, has been empty since 2019 when the breakfast cereal producer consolidated its Corby operations to a second factory nearby.
Its demolition is close to being completed and construction of the new unit will follow on with a view to completion by autumn 2023.
Copley Point Capital – on behalf of its Block Industrial program and Pembury Real Estate Ltd – submitted a planning application to North Northamptonshire Council earlier this year having purchased the eight-acre site.
The unit is designed to be BREEAM Very Good rated and will have a 12.5-metre minimum clear eaves height, 16-dock and two-level access doors, and a 50-metre yard.
Copley Point Capital director Nimit Oberoi said: “We’re very pleased to have obtained planning permission for Earlstree 160 just seven months after our acquisition. This is a testament to the hard work of our team and the positive and pragmatic attitude of North Northamptonshire Council.”
