Enderby Logistics Hub

The indicative masterplan submitted with the planning application shows a seven-unit scheme totalling 1,131,200 sq ft with units ranging from 10,150 sq ft to 505,250 sq ft.

The site provides large regular building platforms that can meet a wide variety of occupier requirements and be subdivided to accommodate smaller buildings, should they be required – the large scale of the site and the opportunity for large platforms makes it highly flexible. Our development aims to be attractive and sustainable, and we have set high environmental targets of BREEAM ‘Excellent’ to ensure it sets new standards locally.

Transport and Access

The site is well located to access the motorway network, with M1 Junction 21 closeby, which also provides access to the M69 connecting to the West Midlands, and so serves the country as a whole.

Some 80% of the country’s population are within 4-hours drive of the site. The site is also alongside the Leicester urban area, and so provides immediate access to a population of over half a million people.

The site is adjacent to the Enderby Park and Ride and local bus routes run alongside and close to the site, so its easily accessible by bus. The Enderby cycle route also runs alongside the site, and new footways would ensure the site can be accessed on foot.

Logistics companies at the site would generally work to off-peak shift patterns, so additional traffic on the local network would generally be at off-peak times and therefore not make local road conditions any worse – and these aspects can be controlled through the planning approval.

An extensive multimillion-pound package of highways and transport improvements have been identified and incorporated, including those identified by Leicester County Council, such as:
- Lubbesthorpe Way widening scheme
- Upgrades to the B4114/Park & Ride and B4114/Penman Way signal junctions to MOVA signal operation
- Desford Crossroad scheme improvement
- Travel Packs for all new employees with 6-month bus pass
- New footpath/cycleway along St Johns
- Delivery of a highway scheme of capacity enhancement at the A563 / Meridian South roundabout
- Framework Travel Plan and a strategy to be agreed for the provision of a bus service to serve the development.

The development is close to all the facilities at Fosse Park Shopping Centre and the local amenities at Grove Park, with Enderby village centre with its shops and other facilities close by, and in addition the Training Centre on the site can also provide local amenities for those working and visiting the site.
