Work underway on new Highbridge business park

Developers KMW Trading Limited have commenced infrastructure works on a new 14.6 acre business park in Highbridge, Somerset, bringing forward serviced employment land and new design & build opportunities for businesses seeking industrial and logistics space along the M5 corridor.

Oak Tree Business Park offers roadside plots fronting the A38 Bristol Road with land to the rear with consent for B1, B2 and B8 uses.

Property consultants Alder King are agents on the new scheme along with Greenslade Taylor Hunt and say discussions are already underway with a number of businesses interested in the opportunities presented by the business park.

Alder King partner Andrew Maynard said: “There has been a very positive start to this new development site. Work on the estate roads began before Christmas and the site is now ready to deliver a range of new buildings to a client’s specific brief.

“As a result of the early interest we are now considering building a small terraced light industrial scheme on one of the plots. This will provide a number of starter units of 728 sq ft up to 3,495 sq ft and will be available on a freehold or leasehold basis.”

Oak Tree Business Park is well-located just half a mile south of Junction 22 of the M5. This part of Highbridge has seen a number of new developments recently including a new Aldi foodstore and Travelodge hotel and is close to the nearby Isleport Business Park.
