Work can now begin on a major industrial scheme in North Staffordshire which is expected to support 1,700 jobs.
Harworth Group plc has secured detailed planning consent from Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to deliver 1.2 million sq ft of industrial and logistics space at Chatterley Valley West.
The 106-acre site, which is adjacent to the A500, forms part of the wider Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone, which was established in 2016 to drive economic growth in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire - and reinforce the area's reputation as a centre of manufacturing excellence.
