Peel Waters has submitted a trio of planning applications to Wirral Council for the next phase of development at Mea Park West.

The applications incorporate proposals for a speculatively built 45,000 sq ft manufacturing and logistics unit on one of the plots, with investment totalling £16m.

Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development at Wirral Waters, said: "This planning application represents an important step forward in the delivery of Mea Park West – a key employment hub within Wirral Waters. By creating the infrastructure and high-quality space for a wide range of modern manufacturing and logistics businesses, we can attract new investment, support local supply chains, and deliver hundreds of new jobs for the immediate area. It’s another strong signal that Wirral Waters is gathering real momentum.”

When live, the development is expected to create over 200 new jobs, boost local supply chains, and accelerate the regeneration of the surrounding area.  

In total, the four plots at Mea Park West will ultimately deliver 171,400 sq ft of new employment space, alongside the conversion of the 42,000 sq ft Mobil building into an upgraded Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Factory.

The other two applications set out proposals for the enabling infrastructure across four distinct plots, involving site remediation, three new access roads, an energy sub-station and Sustainable Urban Drainage systems
