Tesco Plan for 85,000 sq m Livingston Distribution Centre
An application for planning consent for a new Tesco distribution centre to be located on the site of the former NEC factory in Livingston has been lodged with West Lothian Council. This development would represent an investment of £75 million and employ 1,400 people including 200 new jobs.
Santon Group Developments Limited and Tesco Stores Limited in a joint venture with Rosemount Developments propose to construct a new distribution centre to serve all Tesco stores in Scotland from the site of the former NEC factory, which closed in 2002 and has recently been demolished.
Tesco estimate that by locating in Livingston its' lorries will travel 77,000 fewer miles each week - or 4 million fewer miles each year. Scottish suppliers will benefit too from being able to connect to the Tesco distribution network within Scotland.
The new distribution centre will extend to 85,000 square metres and house a separate recycling unit on the 51.5 hectare site. The building will handle a wide range of Tesco food products including chilled, frozen and dry groceries.
New bus stops will be provided on both sides of the A89 together with a new footway/cycleway along the front of the site. There will also be a footway/cycleway linking the south side A89 bus stop with the staff entrance.
