AIPUT granted planning permission to develop Radius Park

Europe Airports
Airport Industry Property Unit Trust (AIPUT) has been granted planning permission for a high-spec industrial warehouse building at its Radius Park industrial campus at Heathrow Airport.

The RP6 warehouse, which has been granted planning permission by the London Borough of Hounslow, has a gross external area of 67,000 square feet and will be a consolidation of two previous warehouse buildings at AIPUT’s 16-acre Radius Park campus.

The building will be stripped back to the structural steel and floor slab to create a single warehouse building that will include Grade A first floor offices and benefit from a secure, fenced location.

It has been designed to achieve EPC A+ energy sustainability performance, incorporating initiatives including roof-mounted photovoltaic panels and other technologies designed to minimise both embodied and operational carbon.

Large areas of sustainably sourced timber cladding will be used on the new building, which is projected to achieve a minimum of BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ ratings.

The site has access to Heathrow Airport via Perimeter Road at Hatton Cross and has access to key roads including the M25, M4, A30 and A312.

Nick Ireland, AIPUT Fund Manager, says, “We are delighted that the London Borough of Hounslow has supported our proposal for this significant investment in the enhancement of AIPUT’s Radius Park industrial campus.”

Subject to the timing of final legal agreements, AIPUT expects RP6 will be ready for tenant occupation by Q4 next year.
