IM Properties has submitted a planning application to expand Mercia Park on land to the north of Junction 11 of the A/M42 in north west Leicestershire.
Mercia Park is the home of JLR’s Global Logistics Centre (Unipart) and a flagship facility for global transport and logistics company DSV.
The proposed expansion will provide much-needed space for businesses and build on the success of Mercia Park, which has seen the employment park become an important economic asset for the local area and wider region, employing more than 2,500 people on site.
The new site will continue to deliver high quality buildings set within extensive and accessible green infrastructure including woodland, wetlands and wildflower meadows.
North West Leicestershire District Council's draft Local Plan has proposed the land to the north of Junction 11, M42 as a potential allocation for strategic distribution, recognising that new development at this site could capitalise on the profile and infrastructure at Mercia Park.
