Peddimore is a high-quality development that will be a best-in-class employment location for national and international manufacturing and logistics businesses.

Peddimore comprises one of the UK’s most significant new manufacturing and logistics sites. It is allocated and granted hybrid planning permission for 71 hectares of employment land, delivered in a strategic and nationally central location to the northeast of Birmingham, through a joint development partnership between IM Properties Plc and the landowners, Birmingham City Council.

As one of the UK’s most significant new manufacturing and logistics sites, Peddimore will significantly help to address the needs of international, national and regional businesses in the industrial and logistics sectors, delivering over 4 million sq ft of employment space. Peddimore is also set to deliver extensive socio-economic and environmental benefits, creating thousands of jobs, uplifts in regional productivity, training opportunities and open space enhancements.

Following the approval of hybrid planning permission in 2019, the construction of Peddimore began in July 2021. The associated employment uses are set to be delivered across three development zones; the first of which began construction in July 2022. This includes the delivery of a storage and distribution unit measuring over 2 million sq ft GIA, which by itself will bring around 1,000 full time equivalent jobs to the local area.

The delivery of Peddimore is set to continue for years to come and is committed to include a minimum of around 30 hectares of manufacturing and research and development uses. This delivery will also by complimented by substantial commitments and benefits continuing beyond its completion, including towards sustainability, social value and high-quality design. This includes pledges to BREAMM ‘Excellent’, a Green Travel District to improve local public transport and walking/cycling routes, public art installations, and local employment and partnerships.

Consequently, Peddimore is guaranteed to deliver the high-quality, best-in-class employment development it set out to be, providing a lasting positive legacy on both a regional and national scale.

Kevin Ashfield, UK Development Director, IM Properties:

“As one of the most active developers in the region we are aware that occupiers are looking for the best working environments, which is paired with the fact that there is a critical lack of industrial land supply in the area, so we are already seeing high levels of interest.

"We are also pioneering an extensive social value programme associated with Peddimore, which will accelerate with the delivery phase. This is already demonstrating tangible benefits for the local community and will help to fulfil our ambition of delivering a lasting legacy.”
