Plans submitted for vacant former Amazon site
The former Amazon fulfillment centre in Rugeley closed in 2024
- Published
Plans have been submitted for alterations to a former Amazon warehouse in Staffordshire.
The online retail giant announced in 2023 that it had plans to relocate operations from its Power Station Road site in Rugeley to a new centre in Sutton Coldfield.
The site in Rugeley was the largest employer in the Cannock Chase district and had about 1,000 members of staff.
The massive warehouse is currently vacant, and a planning application for the site has been put forward to the council by Lysander Associates Limited, a Surrey-based construction consultancy.
Permission is being sought for a multi-storey car park and other site alterations.
These include external changes to the main building, as well as smaller support outbuildings and structures such as gatehouses and smoking and bus shelters.
This news was gathered by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, which covers councils and other public service organisations.
