“It’s the result of positive dialogue with the local authority, statutory bodies and other stakeholders, including community representatives.”

Siemens first unveiled plans to build the rail manufacturing unit last year. It gained momentum after it was awarded with a £1.5bn contract from TfL to deliver 94 Tube trains.

The company expects the first phase of manufacturing site to open in 2023, subject to approval. The site is due to become fully operational by 2025.

As a part of this initiative, Siemens plans to create up to 700 jobs. An additional 250 jobs will be created during the construction period. The site will also support another 1,700 supply chain roles.
