CO-OPERATIVE Retail Logistics wants the green light to base 206 vehicles and 240 trailers at a new operating centre on the Andover Airield Business Park in Monxton Road, Andover.
The 467,000ft2 RDC, which will serve the irm’s food stores in the south of England, is expected to employ 900 people when fully operational.
Work started on the development of the business park site in May last year, and plots became available from the third quarter in 2010.
It is only 10 minutes from the A34 and includes a new road junction providing direct access to the A303.
Trevor Ashworth, Co-operative Food Retail Logistics director, says the RDC is a “major milestone” in the development of its logistics network. He adds: “It will enable us to continue to provide Co-operative customers with the high standards of service they expect.”
