In September 2022, Harworth completed the development of 332,000 sq. ft of Grade A industrial & logistics space at a site in Bardon Hill, Leicestershire. The development is strategically located less than two miles from Junction 22 of the M1, within one of the UK’s fastest growing manufacturing and distribution locations, where existing occupiers include Amazon, Eddie Stobart and DHL.
Located just to the east of Harworth’s South East Coalville development, the 54-acre site was aquired in May 2018. The scheme received outline planning consent from North West Leicestershire Council in July 2019, and approval of reserved matters was received in March 2020. Construction commenced in the second half of 2021.
The development comprises five units ranging from 29,000 sq. ft to 119,000 sq. ft, built to BREEAM Very Good standard, EPC rating A and achieving NZC in construction accreditation. All units have first floor offices, secure service yards and dedicated car parking spaces, ensuring the units appeal to a wide range of potential occupiers.
Located at the apex of UK’s golden triangle for logistics, the Bardon Hill site can serve three-quarters of the UK population within a single heavy-goods vehicle journey. It is also located less than half an hour from East Midlands Airport, home to the UK’s largest air cargo operation.
