FI Real Estate Management (FI-REM) is proposing to deliver a new commercial and employment park off Junction 3 of the M65 in Chorley Borough, between Blackburn and Preston.

Across two large warehouse units a combined total to 1.3 million sq ft (circa 130,000 sqm) of floorspace for logistics use (Class B8) is proposed, with associated offices and support facilities for staff, car parking and servicing.

The proposals aim to meet an identified need in the market for additional logistics floorspace opportunities suitable for regional or national scale operations. Opportunities are necessarily limited to locations on the national motorway network.

The emerging Central Lancashire Local Plan has identified the M65 corridor within Chorley as an opportunity to meet its future employment land needs which are in the region of 20 ha and focused on Class B8 uses.
