A row of industrial units next to a new Costa Coffee drive-thru have gone on the market.

The four units are being built by Gallagher Properties Limited at Eclipse Park - near M&S just off the M20 at Junction 7 in Maidstone - having been granted planning permission in May.

Sibley Pares is marketing the units with property consultant Phil Hubbard saying: “There’s already been significant interest.”

The two-storey units vary in size from 5,249 sq ft to 7,248 sq ft.

The site will have 37 dedicated parking spaces, four disabled parking spaces and some EV charging points.

They will be sold on a full repairing lease for a term to be negotiated at a rent of £16.50 per sq ft per year.

A condition of the planning permission is that they should not be used between the hours of 11pm and 5am.

The units are expected to be ready next summer.

However, officers said the applicants had addressed those concerns as far as was reasonably possible, agreeing to erect signs asking customers to turn off their engines when idling, and installing EV charging points to encourage greener travel.
