This makes it very suitable for a range of occupiers such as PFS and coffee operators, quick service restaurants, hotels, third-party logistics, industrial owner-occupiers, manufacturing businesses, EV charging operators and many others. All of these can benefit from a population of over 110,000 people within a twenty-minute drive as well as passing road traffic of more than 6.5 million vehicles per year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area is a thriving business location with major companies including DHL, Nestle, and Travis Perkins in close proximity. At just over 1.5 miles from Wisbech town centre, the largest town in Fenland, the land parcel also benefits from local amenities and a nearby customer and workforce base that can access the site via public transport.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application seeks to build on an already approved detailed application for access and is designed to bring forward high-quality mixed-use industrial and commercial development at this gateway site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application is for a flexible range of uses and floorspace areas: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Industrial (B2\/B8\/Eg(iii)) \u2013 up to 60,000 sq. ft (5,574 sqm)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hotel (C1) \u2013 up to 40,565 sq. ft (3,768 sqm)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Petrol Filling Station with ancillary retail sales (sui generis\/Class E(a)) \u2013 up to 5,000 sq. ft (465 sqm)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive-thru (E(b)\/sui generis) &#8211; up to 4,300 sq. ft (400 sqm)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive-to diner (E(b)) &#8211; up to 5,975 sq. ft (555 sqm)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the site\u2019s layout is a matter for a subsequent reserved matters application, Godwin has submitted three indicative masterplan layouts to demonstrate how the mix and quantum of uses proposed could be arranged on the site.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The potential benefits of the proposals are significant, with the creation of more than 500 jobs in construction and operation and economic value calculated at \u00a3500 million.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Harrison, Planning Director at Godwin Developments, said: \u201cThis application is grounded in policy and responds to Fenland District Council\u2019s Local Plan which seeks to encourage employment to the south of Wisbech, along the A47 corridor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe proposal offers sustainable development for the town, will target a BREEAM Very Good scheme, and through the provision of new soft landscaping, also significantly enhance the visual appearance of the site.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godwin and its agents \u2013 Alfred Bartlett from Ogle Property LLP; John Maxey at Maxey Grounds and Julian Welch from Eddisons &#8211; welcome enquiries from interested occupiers for units at Wisbech Gateway.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IMA Architects worked on the layouts and Pegasus Group were the planning consultants for the scheme.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godwin Developments has commercial and industrial divisions with recent developments in Birmingham, Northamptonshire, Dorset and Cambridgeshire, alongside a strong UK-wide pipeline. It develops and delivers projects for leading brands such as Wendy\u2019s, Lidl, McDonald\u2019s, Burger King, Greggs, Starbucks and Costa Coffee. At the same time, the team works closely with electric vehicle charging providers, helping power the UK\u2019s low-carbon future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For lettings enquiries contact: <a
