Mountpark Logistics has submitted a reserved matters planning application to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for a 947,650 sq ft industrial and logistics development at Stanton Lane, Coalville.
Known as Mountpark Bardon III, the proposed scheme comprises two high quality buildings of 535,955 sq ft and 411,695 sq ft, both of which have been designed to achieve EPC ‘A’ ratings and minimum BREEAM ‘Excellent’ accreditations. As part of its plans, Mountpark has designated 50% of the site as green space to support biodiversity and provide a landscaped woodland park for both employees and local residents to enjoy.
The new scheme is the third and final phase of Mountpark Bardon, which is strategically located near Junction 22 of the M1, north of Leicester and within a 4.5 hour HGV drive time of around 85% of the UK population.
“The success of the first two phases of Mountpark Bardon has demonstrated the high demand for large logistics facilities along the M1 corridor,” said Tom Kilmister, senior development director at Mountpark UK & Ireland. “By making sure detailed planning permission is in place, we can offer customers certainty of delivery to meet tight operational deadlines.
“As a business, we seek to offer our customers the best logistics property opportunities on the market, including high quality amenity space – such as roof terraces and landscaped surroundings – that will create an attractive working environment for employees.”
