St. Modwen submits plans for major industrial and logistics park in Derby

St. Modwen Industrial & Logistics has submitted detailed plans for the first phase of development at St. Modwen Park Derby, following the grant of outline planning permission in September 2020.

The developer’s submission includes plans for three high-quality business units of 3,600m², 5,000m² and 7,300m² which, if approved, could bring around 300 jobs to the immediate area.

St. Modwen Park Derby, which is a joint venture between the Birmingham-based developer and Network Rail, comprises 70-acres of brownfield land and is located on Wyvern Way, adjacent to Derby County FC’s Pride Park stadium. 

Rob Richardson, Senior Development Manager at St. Modwen Industrial & Logistics, said: “Together with Network Rail, we are committed to delivering a prime business park and a wealth of job opportunities for Derby, and we look forward to bringing forward such a well-located scheme, which will meet the City and wider region’s demand for high-quality industrial and logistics space.

“We are pleased to have had the support of the local authority who believe in the site’s potential, and the boost it could give to the East Midlands’ economy.”

Gary Walsh, Managing Director for Network Rail in the East Midlands, added: “This development is great news for Derby and the surrounding area, and we’re pleased to be involved with St. Modwen. This land has been sat empty for some time, so it’s really positive that not only will the land now be used, but the development will support the local economy and provide much needed new jobs.”
