Our Proposal
The site is being considered to support local employment and economic growth and has been identified as an allocated site in the draft Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Local Plan. The site would be located next to the existing Dodwells Bridge Industrial Estate off Dodwells Road, Hinckley.
While the development will primarily be located within Hinckley & Bosworth Borough, the entrance to the proposed site will also be located just within the Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council boundary.
The key features of the proposed development:
The site is expected to create around 2,500 new jobs, supporting a range of local employment opportunities
Around seven employment buildings which could provide space for light industrial, office, storage and distribution uses
One small unit at the site entrance for a drive-through café/food outlet, intended to serve residents, workers at the site and nearby road users
The expectation is that the site can accommodate approximately 1.6 million sq.ft (140,000 sq.m) of floorspace
A new access/exit point from the A5, along with associated highway improvements, to ensure safe and efficient access to and exit from the development.
High-quality landscaping and ecological enhancements across the site.
A minimum of 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
A comprehensive range of supporting technical assessments will be prepared and submitted as part of the planning application.
