Indurent has submitted a planning submission application for final phase of Longbridge West, a £30 million investment into the regeneration of former MG Rover car manufacturing plant.
The site is 12km south-west of Birmingham city centre and formed part of the MG Rover car manufacturing plant which closed in 2005.
The plans will see Indurent deliver over 339,000ft² of modern industrial and logistics space, including ancillary office space, across 13 units.
Designed to meet BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ standards, the new units will provide modern, energy-efficient workspace targeted at the advanced manufacturing, logistics, and distribution industries.
Once complete, Indurent reports that the scheme will create 590 full-time jobs, as well as 280 roles during construction and local opportunities for training and skills.
Jessica Evans, senior planning manager at Indurent, said: “This planning application marks a major milestone for Indurent and for the wider regeneration of Longbridge.
“This development will deliver high-quality, modern employment space, bringing investment, job creation and economic growth to the area.
“As we reach 20 years since the closure of the MG Rover plant, the site is beginning a new chapter as a hub for business and innovation. We look forward to working closely with the local authority and community to bring these plans to life and ensure they deliver lasting benefits for Longbridge.”
