Thousands of new jobs are set to be created in Crewe, after Cheshire East Council granted planning permission for Weston M6, a new state-of-the-art commercial and business park.
Weston M6 will be located between the A500 and David Whitby Way in the emerging Basford East neighbourhood.
The Crewe scheme will break the mould of traditional business parks by creating a holistic working environment, prioritising the health and wellbeing of employees, visitors, and neighbours.
A network of footpaths, cycleways, pocket parks, and nature trails, will be constructed through Weston M6, creating high-quality workspaces with expansive greenery and nature.
Each unit built at Weston M6 will be fitted with sustainability features, including solar PV and EV charging points.
All offices will provide light and bright spaces for employees, aiming to boost their wellbeing.
Weston M6 will deliver six logistics and industrial units, totalling nearly 1.2million sq. ft of space, while a further five office blocks will provide around 100,000 sq. ft of space.
It is anticipated 2,900 new jobs will be created upon completion of the site, with 165 jobs provided during the construction phase.
Development manager at Muse, Sarah Chicken, said: "Everyone wants to work in an environment that prioritises not only productivity but also well-being.
"With its seamless integration of nature, cutting-edge sustainability features, and prime location, Weston M6 offers a workplace of the future.
"It has been designed to put people at the forefront of the development by creating a workplace setting that fosters creativity, collaboration and most importantly, health.
"Businesses across the nation are eager to invest in Crewe.
"Not only does the town's location make it ideal for accessing regional and international markets, but Crewe itself is renowned for its innovation and skilled workforce.
"With the introduction of Weston M6, we are confident Crewe will continue to attract forward-thinking companies and drive growth for years to come."
The approved planning application grants detailed permission for Phase One of the site, which includes three of the logistics units.
The remaining three units and office space have been granted outline permission, establishing the principle of the development.
A further Reserved Matters Application to agree the details of Phase Two will come forward before the end of 2024.
