Chatterley Valley

Overview & Vision

The Chatterley Valley site sits adjacent to the A500 just 4 miles from Junction 16 of the M6. The site also benefits from a live rail siding to the West Coast Mainline.

Harworth is the freehold owner of the Chatterley Valley site, which extends to 106 acres, following the purchase of over 80 acres of neighbouring land in August 2017.  In early 2019, Harworth secured an improved planning approval for the site, with detailed planning consent secured in 2022, allowing for 1.2 million sq ft of industrial and logistics floorspace, including the potential for a large unit of up to 650,000 sq ft.

The accessibility of the Chatterley Valley site afforded by its proximity to the A500, M6 and West Coast Mainline, combined with its location near Stoke – a popular area for industrial and logistics businesses – is expected to drive significant demand for space. 

Crucially, the site been granted Enterprise Zone status from the Government as part of Staffordshire’s ‘Ceramic Valley’, meaning any future occupier can benefit from Business Rate Relief and enjoys the full backing of the Stoke & Staffordshire LEP.

Once fully built out, it is expected that around 1,700 jobs will be supported on-site providing a significant boost to economic activity, skills and job density in the local area, which is amongst the UK’s 10 fastest growing economies outside of London
