Plans for a major new industrial building near Coventry Airport are moving forward as a new planning application has been submitted.

Outline plans for the major commercial site at Gateway South were signed off for a second time by Warwick District Council in January, with some 37 hectares of land to be developed.

Now applicant SEGRO has submitted detailed plans - called a 'reserved matters' application - for one of the large industrial units on the site.

Plans show the unit would cover 8,571 square metres.

The application said the scheme would "provide a high quality employment development that will satisfactorily and flexibly respond to occupiers requirements and market requirements for commercial and distribution uses".

Landscaping will be introduced around the boundary.

The application continued: "The proposed design of the building fulfils the aspirations of the applicant based on a vision for a modern business park where buildings use good quality and sustainable materials and are laid out to respond, flexibly and elegantly, to business needs of the prospective occupiers. 

"The building type is industrial, and the demands of this building type determine robustness, height, and lightweight structure, and a flexible, lightweight envelope."
