Emerging Development Proposal
Our proposal
SEGRO is pleased to bring forward a proposal for a new industrial and logistics development as a second phase of the existing and successful SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway (SLPEMG 1).
SLPEMG 1 is now fully occupied, with the market demand for both warehouse floorspace and access to the rail freight terminal having exceeded expectations. Find out more about SLPEMG 1 here.
Our proposal for the new phase SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway 2 (SLPEMG 2) would see the delivery of additional and much-needed strategic warehouse and logistics space to continue to meet market demands. This new development would form part of the East Midlands Freeport, driving further economic regeneration across the East Midlands.
The emerging proposal is at an early stage, with draft plans and other details still being refined. This website currently offers high-level information, and more information about the development and public consultation will be shared in due course.

Our vision
Our vision is to create a state-of-the-art industrial and logistics development that not only provides opportunities for businesses to scale, but also sees the creation of thousands of jobs and the investment of £310 million into the area, driving economic growth and supporting the local community. The development will be a model of excellence in design, functionality and sustainability. Home to a clean, safe and secure environment for all to enjoy.
- Up to 330,000 sq m (3.5 million sq ft) of employment floorspace, with up to 100,000 sq m (c.1.1 million sq ft) of mezzanines, in the form of an industrial and logistics campus and supporting infrastructure
- Maximum external building height in the range of 15 to 23 metres to ridge, subject to ongoing assessment and consultation
- Creation of substantial employment opportunities, with 4,000 jobs located at SLPEMG 2
- Expansion and improvements to the strategic rail freight terminal at SLPEMG 1
- Investment of £310 million into the area and driving economic regeneration via the East Midlands Freeport
- Provision of road and infrastructure improvements, including new vehicular access from the A453 and a new estate road serving SLPEMG 2
- A new bus interchange terminal at SLPEMG 2's entrance which replicates and builds upon the successful sustainable travel strategy for SLPEMG1
- Hyam's Lane retention and provision of pedestrian / cycle connectivity through the middle of SLPEMG 2
- Extensive landscaping areas and buffers along SLPEMG 2's boundaries, including new landscape features and biodiversity enhancements
- A significant landscape screen utilising earthworks bunding on the western and southern parts of the site, including drainage (SUDs) features
While the application will not seek approval for details of layout or design, an illustrative masterplan will be submitted as part of the application in due course.
The proposal is currently at an early stage. Work is ongoing to survey and assess land within the SLPEMG 2, and to agree the scope of the Transport Assessment and other detail which will be required as part of an application.
The application will be supported by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to aid decision-making by providing an assessment of any likely significant environmental impacts.
The proposal includes land within the existing SLPEMG 1, and to deliver either additional floorspace or additional container storage areas associated with the rail freight terminal, as well as land to accommodate gantry cranes within the terminal itself.
These elements of the proposal would improve efficiency and operational capacity of the terminal itself, aiding the transfer of freight from road to rail, and future-proofing the terminal in light of the additional use by occupiers of SLPEMG 2, if approved.
