Industrial/Warehouse News

Birchwood Business Park in Somercotes, Alfreton will provide modern distribution or manufacturing accommodation for businesses looking to take advantage of a prime location just off the M1 at Junction 28 and the A38.

Birchwood Business Park benefits from planning consent granted by Amber Valley Borough Council for five high-quality industrial and warehouse units, available for sale or to let. The scheme will provide modern commercial accommodation for businesses across the manufacturing, logistics and distribution sectors.

With units ranging from 9,000 to 95,000 sq ft, Birchwood will provide flexible opportunities for occupiers of varying sizes, from growing regional businesses to larger national operators seeking high-quality premises in a strategically connected location.

The development occupies a prime position adjoining the A38, just minutes from Junction 28 of the M1 motorway. Birchwood Business Park will be accessed via the established Cotes Park Industrial Estate from Birchwood Way, providing excellent connectivity to the wider regional and national road network.

Its location offers fast dual carriageway access to Derby and direct connectivity to the M1, making Birchwood Business Park ideally positioned for businesses requiring efficient access to key markets across the East Midlands and beyond.

The development will complement the established industrial and logistics presence within the area, providing much-needed, modern commercial space in a well-connected and proven business location.
