Hortonwood 45, Industrial Development

Project Overview

Hortonwood 45

Location: Located in the industrially strategic area of Telford

Duration: Project development spanned 18 months

Client: A joint initiative between Redsun Projects and Arrow Investment Capital

Project Highlights

Hortonwood 45 transformed arable land into a major industrial development opportunity, securing planning consent for 345,000 sq ft of warehouse, manufacturing and office accommodation. The scheme was designed to support substantial employment growth and economic investment within the local area.

The Challenge

The project had to navigate stringent planning requirements while maintaining commercial viability in the uncertain post-COVID market. Securing a deliverable scheme required balancing development costs, market conditions and investor expectations, while reducing risk sufficiently to attract funding and contractor interest.

Our Solution

We increased investment in pre-contract investigations to better understand and mitigate development risks at an early stage. By engaging Tier 1 regional contractors during the procurement process, we secured competitive pricing and strengthened the overall viability of the scheme. This approach supported a robust planning submission and created a more attractive proposition for both funders and future investors.

The Outcome

The project successfully secured planning consent and progressed to the point of building contract award. Although funding was subsequently paused following the market disruption caused by the Truss/Kwarteng budget, the value created through the planning process enabled the land to be sold to an equity investor at a profit. The scheme significantly enhanced the site’s market value and established a clear route for future industrial development.
