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 (EMG1).
EMG1 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 EMG1 here.
Our proposal for the new phase SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway 2 (EMG2) 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.

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 £325 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 326,500 sq. m of employment space (including 300,000 sq. m on EMG2 and 26,500 sq. m within the existing EMG1), with an allowance for 203,500 sq. m of additional mezzanine floors (200,000 sq. m on EMG2 and 3,500 sq. m within EMG1).
- Maximum external building height in the range of 18 to 24 metres to ridge
- Creation of substantial employment opportunities, with 5,720 operational jobs located at EMG 2
- Expansion and improvements to the strategic rail freight terminal at EMG 1
- Investment of £325 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 EMG2
- A new bus interchange terminal at EMG2's entrance which replicates and builds upon the successful sustainable travel strategy for EMG1
- Construction of a secure dedicated HGV parking area with amenity building for HGVs visiting EMG2 and EMG1.
- Creation of a Community Park of approximately 14.3 hectares with public access.
- Hyam's Lane retention and provision of pedestrian / cycle connectivity through the middle of EMG2
- Extensive landscaping areas and buffers along EMG2'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
Final details of layout and design will be approved post consent (if granted) but, an illustrative masterplan is provided with each application and shows how the development may come forward within the parameters applied for.
A single Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been prepared for all elements of the proposal to aid decision-making by providing an assessment of any likely significant environmental impacts.
The proposal includes land within the existing EMG1 rail freight terminal, expansion of the existing bus terminal and management suite buildings, to deliver additional floorspace as well as land to accommodate an increase in height for the already consented gantry cranes within the existing rail freight terminal. Increasing the height of the gantry cranes will improve efficiency and operational capacity of the rail freight terminal, aiding the transfer of freight from road to rail, and future-proofing the terminal in light of the additional use by occupiers of EMG2, if approved.
