Land deal brings 2,400 jobs a step closer

An employment site that will create 2,400 jobs created has moved a step closer.

Development work has started at Hinckley Park following the sale of the 110 acre site of farmland situated adjacent to the M69 by  agents Wells McFarlane to IM Properties.

Trevor Wells, director at Wells McFarlane, said “As a strategic land agency we identified development potential for the arable farmland due to its accessible location; adjacent to junction one of the M69 and close to existing logistics and warehousing.

“We represented the landowners throughout the planning and consultancy process and selected preferred developer partners, working together and leading to the sale of the site to IM Properties. This whole process has taken two years from start to finish.

“The farmland proved to have the perfect characteristics for commercial development, it really came down to location, location, location.”
