Firethorn has secured planning consent for the redevelopment of manufacturing space delivering 205,000 sq ft of next generation product into a supply constrained market, breathing new life into a redundant site. The development is being progressed speculatively and is expected to reach Practical Completion in March 2028.

The site is located with immediate access to the A404(MA) along the key M4 corridor within a 15-minute drive of Junction 15 of the M25 London Orbital motorway, and is expected to contribute £17.6m in annual economic value for the local economy.

Modern industrial space on a strategically located M4 corridor site

Norreys Drive sits adjacent to Junction 9A of the A404(M) and less than one mile from Junction 8/9 of the M4, providing strategic connections to the M25 and central London, as well as the wider M4 and M40 corridors. The site is within 15 miles of Heathrow Airport, and London Paddington is 25 minutes away by train.

Adjacent to the Concorde and Vanwall business parks, the site previously operated as a manufacturing facility for 70 years with occupiers including Beecham’s, GSK and Haleon PLC.
