Five new business units have been approved for development at Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington, as part of its next expansion phase.
North West Leicestershire District Council has granted planning permission for the trade counter and warehouse units, which range in size from 3,229 to 4,606 sq ft. The units will be located around the existing Starbucks outlet at the park entrance, alongside the recently opened Sainsbury’s Local.
Developer Clowes Developments will target trade counter operators for the new space. Construction is scheduled to begin shortly under the lead contractor Roe Developments, with a 30-week build programme. Occupation is expected by the end of the year, and trading could start as early as January.
The development team, which includes IMA Architects, has worked within specific constraints due to the park’s proximity to East Midlands Airport. Stakeholder engagement was part of the planning process to ensure compatibility with the surrounding environment.
The business park continues to attract strong demand from commercial operators, with further occupier announcements expected in the coming months.
