Summerfield granted permission to expand Westpark 26 in Somerset11th March 2013

The builders of Westpark 26 business park in Somerset - Summerfield Developments -  have received full planning consent to begin construction of a new block at the park. This will provide a further 16 units, which the developers hope will be ready for occupation before the end of 2013.

All 26 units within blocks three and four have now sold at the business park, which is just outside Wellington and adjacent to the M5 motorway.

Ben Trickey, Senior Development Surveyor for Summerfield Developments, said: “We have a great mix of occupiers at Westpark 26 and some very successful businesses continue to grow and thrive there. As well as receiving strong interest from companies for larger land-take requirements, we are also very pleased with the interest we’ve received to date in Block B”.

Adjacent to Chelston Business Park, Westpark 26 will total approx 46,450 sq m (500,000 sq ft) of predominantly light industrial and warehouse facilities when completed. The site has a hotel and pub together with workshops and starter units. Other proposed uses for the business park are trade counters, offices, health uses, child daycare along with car showrooms and a veterinary clinic.
