Plans have been submitted for a new national storage and distribution centre in Staffordshire.
Stoford Developments put forward the application on behalf of pet care business, Pets at Home.
The application consists of the first phase of 670,000 sq ft, with a 100,000 sq ft extension to the warehouse which will form part of phase 2.
The proposed development of a 52-acre site at Stafford North Business Park, close to Jct 14 of the M6, will create a purpose-built warehouse unit, a three-storey office and two double-storey hub offices.
Plans include a new roundabout on the A34 Stone Road and a development access road serving the new warehouse unit.
Pets at Home has signed a 20-year conditional agreement for lease on the development, with construction set to start on site in 2021 pending planning consent by Stafford Borough Council.
Stoford Joint Managing Director, Dan Gallagher, said: "This development represents a fantastic opportunity to give Pets at Home a modern, purpose-built facility in a superb central location. Our proposals for Stafford North Business Park have been submitted following an extensive online stakeholder and public consultation. We believe this development has the potential to become one of Staffordshire’s key employment sites and will make a valuable contribution in sustaining jobs in the region during a challenging period for the local and national economy."
