Green light for all-electric logistics park in Liverpool

Royal London Asset Management Property (RLAMP) has received planning approval for the redevelopment of Atlantic Park – a 74,300m² industrial and logistics development in Sefton, north of Liverpool, to meet the growing demand within the City Region’s Freeport.

The scheme, which comprises seven units ranging from 3,900m² to 19,500m² is said to set a new standard for logistics and advanced manufacturing in this area.

Atlantic Park will be developed to a high specification, featuring electric vehicle charge points in all buildings, solar panels, LED fittings with daylight and occupancy control in office units, and sustainable urban drainage systems for effective stormwater management.

These initiatives not only contribute to the carbon reduction but also enhance environmental resilience by reducing strain on existing drainage systems, mitigating flooding, improving water quality, and fostering biodiversity. Atlantic Park is targeting a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and EPC rating A.

Strategically positioned for UK, Irish, and global markets, Atlantic Park, situated just two miles from Liverpool 2 deep-water container terminal, on the intersection of the M57/M58 motorways, serves as a crucial hub in global supply chains.

Matthew Barnes, Senior Asset Manager at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: “To have the opportunity to deliver a high-quality industrial development to this rapidly evolving and strategically important location is exciting for Royal London Asset Management Property.

“Atlantic Park represents a significant strategic investment, bringing high-quality, sustainable logistics and advanced manufacturing space to a market with limited supply and rising occupier ESG standards.”
