Constellation Cold Logistics has secured planning approval for its 100,000 ft2 plus cold store at Park Lane Industrial Estate in Wolverhampton.
Council planning committee members gave the application the go ahead at a planning meeting earlier this week. The new cold store totalling 108,900 ft2 sits alongside a 16,250 ft2 extension to its existing facility. Together the proposals is expected to create circa 40 full time equivalent jobs.
CCL, which acquired the site in 2023, said that the additional space and upgrade of the facility was integral to its ability to remain operational at the site. It reported that the site had not been upgraded in more than 30 years. It is intending to invest some £80 million in the upgrade which will double the storage capacity on the site to 40,000 pallets.
The upgrade and new warehouse facility is set to be operational by summer 2027.
