A huge new warehouse could be added to the industrial landscape just to the north of Swindon.

Panattoni, the developer and owner of the Symmetry park site just south of the A420 and just north of the A4129 has lodged plans for another major installation.

The new units, one single warehouse with loading bays and offices, will have an internal size of 58,000 square metres. That’s just more than 14 acres, or full six football pitches.

If given approval the huge shed, which will have three upper floors will be sited to the south of the road running off the roundabout on the site spine road.

If approved the owners say they estimate the new building would be able to sustain up to 1,500 jobs. The application says: “The type of premises, arranged over four floors, is dependent on robot technology to serve the upper three floors. A significant proportion of the warehouse staff will need to be skilled and semi-skilled to repair, maintain and programme the robotics.”
