Stoney Stanton Business Park, Leicestershire benefits from planning consent granted by Blaby District Council, so the development is ready and raring to go, but what else does it have to offer?

As one of the few opportunities of its kind in the area, Stoney Stanton Business Park offers high-quality new-build industrial and warehouse space for both freehold purchase and leasehold occupation, in a prime, well-connected East Midlands location.

1. Freehold and Leasehold Opportunities – Rare and In-Demand

With the market for freehold industrial units continuing to tighten, Stoney Stanton presents a rare opportunity for both local owner-occupiers and investors to secure brand new space tailored to the needs of the modern business.

The development is located just minutes from Hinckley and the M69, providing excellent connectivity to the wider Midlands and UK motorway network via Junction 21 of the M1.

2. A Location That Works for Business

For local businesses, Stoney Stanton offers the convenience of operating outside the Leicester city centre, avoiding congestion and cutting commute times.

For national and regional operators, the strategic location ensures easy access to key arterial routes, enabling swift logistics connections and efficient distribution.

3. High-Spec, Flexible Industrial Units – Built for the Modern Occupier

The scheme will deliver eight brand new industrial/warehouse buildings, available in a mix of terraced and detached formats. Unit sizes range from 5,942ft² to 28,717ft², with the ability to combine units to suit individual space requirements.

Each unit features:

• Clear span warehouse/industrial space
• Full-height electric roller shutter doors
• Dedicated yard and loading space
• Concrete surfaced delivery yard
• Allocated car parking
• EV charging points
• 10% Natural translucent roof lights
• Flexible layouts to adapt to business needs

4. Hear From the Agents

FHP Property Consultants and Andrew + Ashwell have been jointly instructed as agents on the scheme and are now marketing the opportunity on an all-enquiries basis.

Tim Gilbertson & Corbin Archer, FHP Property Consultants, comment:

“The industrial and warehouse market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, despite wider economic and geopolitical challenges.

One of the consistent challenges we face, particularly in Leicestershire, is the lack of high-quality freehold new-build stock. Stoney Stanton Business Park directly addresses this gap, providing units from 5,942ft² to 28,717ft², all delivered to a high specification and customisable to occupier requirements.

We’ve seen strong take-up of similar schemes across the East Midlands over recent years – with many selling or letting quickly. Stoney Stanton is a natural continuation of that trend, offering businesses in Leicestershire the chance to secure a modern, brand-new industrial unit in a superb location. We’re excited to speak to interested parties.”

Mike Allwood, Andrew + Ashwell, added:

“To endorse the comments above the lack of quality industrial stock in Leicester has been an issue for many years. The units available at Stoney Stanton provide a good range of small to mid-box sizes and the scheme has the added ability to combine space to maximise its potential.

Although more and more local businesses prefer to own their premises it is worth noting that the units are available on both a freehold or leasehold basis. This flexibility sets the scheme apart from many other developments in the region.”

Stoney Stanton Business Park is currently being marketed on a leasehold and freehold basis. Interested occupiers are invited to contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP Property Consultants via tim@fhp.co.uk and Mike Allwood at Andrew + Ashwell via mra@andash.co.uk for more information.

The deal sees over 25,000ft² of space let to the local distribution company as they expand and grow their business.

Jamie Gilbertson commented:

“It was a pleasure to work with our clients on this transaction.  After sourcing the eventual tenant and quickly agreeing terms, the letting flew through the legal process quickly and we are delighted at the end result. 

We wish Direct Same Day Services well in their new home as they expand throughout the region.

No one is claiming that the economy or the market is flying at present but we are still seeing good levels of demand in mid-range stock with supply levels low and with deals being completed.  We have a number of similar deals to report in the coming weeks and also have new opportunities coming to the market but with a constant need for further space.

I would be delighted to discuss occupier’s requirements or speak with landlords who are looking to sell or rent their premises at any time.”

North East Derbyshire, UK – A new business and industrial / trade park has brought vacant land back into use in Clay Cross.

Marroe Developments’ Egstow View Business Park offers high quality new build trade counter and warehouse opportunities on the 4 acre site located just off Junction 29 of the M1, with major names Howdens, Starbucks and Screwfix already signed up on the prominent site.

The Derby Road development, available from Q4 onwards, forms part of a wider mixed-use scheme which includes a Marston’s Pub, McDonald’s Drive thru, Costa Coffee, Home Bargains and St Modwen Homes residential development, and construction is currently underway.

Potential occupiers are offered competitive lease terms on the small single bay units starting at 1,617 up to 21,111 sq ft, built to individuals’ specification and requirements for industrial, storage and distribution use.

The 14 steel frame constructed and steel profile clad units, which can be combined, offer yard and car parking, 6m eaves height, a shared loading yard, 3 phase power, and EV charging.

FHP’s Darran Severn said:

“The scheme is really starting to take shape and it will not be long until units are available for occupation.  The location and prominence of the site is excellent, and this is evident by Howdens, Screwfix and Starbucks committing to the site before practical completion.  The units are built to a top specification and will suit trade, warehouse and industrial occupiers.  We are receiving good interest from national, regional and local businesses so please do get in touch if you would like to discuss the site in more detail.”

Harry Orwin-Allen from Knight Frank added:

“These new trade counter and industrial warehouse units located on the main trading estate in Clay Cross, provide the highest standard of space available to rent. We are looking forward to continuing discussions with new occupiers and welcoming fantastic names already secured.”

Egstow Park is located directly off the A61 Derby Road, with good quality road connections and easy access to Junction 29 of the M1 motorway and Chesterfield Town Centre.

The area has seen significant investment in recent times following the Government-funded £24.1m Clay Cross Town Deal regeneration scheme currently underway which includes the creation of a new Town Square, the pedestrianisation of Market Street and improved road schemes making access easier into the town centre bringing further associated employment opportunities and facilities to the town.

Clay Cross Active, a much anticipated leisure centre and community hub, opened its doors to the public last month, which replaced the former Sharley Park Leisure Centre offering a modern, inclusive space including a new 25-metre swimming pool and learner pool with spectator seating, fully equipped fitness and spin studio, 1 large sports hall, soft play and interactive play areas for children and community cafe.

It’s not often that detached warehouses become available with such good access to both Junctions 26 and 27 of the M1 motorway, so interest is expected from the off on a new instruction being brought to the market at Coombe Road, Moorgreen Industrial Estate, Nottingham.

Being marketed by Jamie Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants, he commented:

“FHP sold this building to our current owner-occupier client and he has looked after it fabulously, providing a really well maintained, good quality warehouse or potential industrial unit in a super location. 

Being set on its own securely fenced and gated site, with the benefit of a large car park to the front elevation and oversized yard to the rear, the building is very well presented and well proportioned with two storey office and ancillary to the front elevation and good quality clear span space beyond with level access loading doors and additional mezzanine.

A rare opportunity indeed and hopefully interest will be good from the start of our marketing campaign.

The building extends to just over 1,723m² (18,541ft²) and it’s available now on a new lease or alternatively our client might sell.”

Fairham Business Park at Nottingham, set outside of Nottingham’s Workplace Parking Levy and adjoining the A453 which links the city to the M1 motorway, continues to see terrific success and now anybody interested in the site can see progress for themselves via two live cameras we have tracking construction on site.

Currently underway are the construction of a 100,000 sq ft unit for Clean Linen, the UK’s leading commercial laundry, and a further 30,000 sq ft building being constructed for a Nottingham occupier who, for the time being at least, we need to keep the identity of quiet!

What’s great about these units is that whilst they augment Fairham and add to the over 500,000 sq ft already built and occupied on the site, you can see progress for yourself via internal and external live camera feeds that are constantly updating showing progress on the site.  The videos can be accessed at:

Unit C1 – www.clowesdevelopments.reachtimelapse.co.uk/fairham/unitc1

Unit C2:  www.clowesdevelopments.reachtimelapse.co.uk/fairham/unitc2

Agents for the scheme are Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants and Rob Champion of Fisher German and they were pleased to add their thoughts, Tim Gilbertson commented:

“It’s great we have these cameras on site as they offer a unique viewpoint for any potential future occupiers or just generally interested parties to see the speed of build and the quality of construction by our clients here.  The cameras show two buildings going up which will be ready for occupation in Q1/Q2 2026 with both buildings already taken, one on a pre-sale and one on a pre-let. 

The cameras are great from our perspective as it gives any other potential occupiers of the scheme a real sense of the quality of build and how quickly these projects progress, which hopefully encourages other occupiers to speak to us as we still have plenty of space left for development on Fairham.”

Rob Champion of Fisher German added:

“Fairham’s continued growth with the construction of these two new buildings is testament to its exemplar location and immediate surroundings. The wider scheme continues to evolve with the construction of housing and we will see further complementary uses added as time moves on.

Having live visual access to activities on site allows those who are interested to monitor progress and proves that, despite wider economic uncertainty, high quality developments of this nature continue to attract the very best national and regional businesses who want to have premium buildings delivered for them.”

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to be working with MAP Property Investments Ltd on a number of industrial estates across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire that they have recently purchased. MAP have bought over 100,000ft² of industrial/warehouse space on separate multi-let estates, with most units being sub-5,000ft².

FHP have been instructed as sole agents on three separate sites that MAP have acquired. Milnhay Industrial Park offers 32 newly refurbished industrial/warehouse units and hardstanding storage land.  We are pleased to announce that FHP has found the first tenant for this site who occupy 1,456ft².  In more recent news, we have placed another unit of 1,690ft² under offer to a regional occupier.

Following a successful initial marketing period at Milnhay Industrial Park, FHP were asked to market two units at Shirebrook Small Business Centre, Shirebrook, Nottinghamshire, NG20 8SP. Within two weeks of marketing the property, FHP placed both units under offer, demonstrating the demand for units under 1,000ft². More recently, MAP Property Investments instructed FHP onto their newly acquired scheme at Bridgefield Industrial Estate in Breaston. There was one vacant unit comprising 2,279ft² that FHP marketed for two weeks before placing it under offer.

The small industrial sector sub-5,000ft² has remained popular despite the economic and political factors that are affecting the UK. FHP has seen a positive uptake of units within this sector. Over the past six months, the general market sentiment has been turbulent, but pleasingly, we have seen an increased number of enquiries coming through. This has led to significantly more viewings and therefore more properties being placed under offer. There is also a shortage of availability within close proximity to Junctions 25 and 26 of the M1 Motorway. This is because there is not much being built due to the lack of available land and the current build costs.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“MAP Property Investments has recently acquired a number of sites throughout the East Midlands, and it goes without saying, FHP are delighted to have been instructed as sole agents on the various estates. Across Derbyshire, take-up on smaller industrial schemes has continued to be strong despite the political and economic pressures that the UK is currently facing. There is a shortage of good-quality units within the region, so I am grateful that MAP are providing various options.

It’s been great to work on these estates and agree on the recent lettings with the tenants. Particularly, Shirebrook Small Business Centre, which showed great demand with both properties being placed under offer within two weeks of marketing.”

Shajid Latif of MAP Property Investments comments:

“We are actively buying multi-let industrial estates across the East Midlands and investing in the sites. We purchased Milnhay Industrial Park in 2023 and have spent two years refurbishing it to offer high-quality space. It is great to see that we are now starting to welcome tenants onto the site. Recently, we have acquired Shirebrook Small Business Centre and Bridgefield Industrial Estate and look forward to working with FHP, who are marketing these on our behalf.”

The site was developed by St Croix Property Ltd and was constructed to their usual standard offering brand new high quality industrial units all below 2,500ft², which presented a rare opportunity in the current market as there are few new build schemes that offer units of this size.”

The Axis Portfolio created by Hines, a global real estate investor, comprises eight new industrial and logistics properties situated across the East Midlands. Six of the eight properties comprising over 800,000ft² are now let, the latest letting being DVP 113, a 113,137ft² at Dove Valley Park, A50, Derby, which completed in June.

Dove Valley Park is a major 200 acre industrial/distribution development at the centre of one of the country’s most important manufacturing areas.  It provides over 1.75 million square foot of accommodation and current occupiers include JCB, GXO, Futaba Industrial, MEG and Truma.  The Axis Portfolio comprises three speculatively built units on Dove Valley Park of 113,000ft², 152,000ft² and 196,000ft².

Mickey Scott, Director at Hines, commented:

“We are delighted to complete the lease on this top quality building to a strong tenant, and we look forward to seeing them operating from the unit.” 

The agents are FHP Property Consultants and Cushman & Wakefield and in a deal arranged by the FHP team of Darran Severn, Tim Gilbertson and John Proctor, they commented:

“It has been great working alongside Hines on this scheme.  We initially set out to raise the profile of Dove Valley Park across the region, building on the quality of the existing occupiers and its accessible location between the M1 and M6.  Dove Valley Park appeals to both local and national occupiers given its central location with the North West, West Midlands and East Midlands all within a 1 hour drivetime.  Not only does the location offer cost effective warehousing, but the local towns and cities of Derby, Burton on Trent, Uttoxeter and Stoke on Trent provide a good supply of accessible labour. 

With strong take-up across the East Midlands throughout the first quarter of 2025, there remains little stock between 100,000ft² and 200,000ft² within our area.  As a result, the remaining two buildings at Dove Valley Park are receiving good interest from both distribution and manufacturing occupiers.”

For further information on the remaining two building at Dove Valley Park which are 152,000ft² and 196,000ft², please contact Darran Severn on 07917 460031 / darran@fhp.co.uk or Tom Kimbell on 07920 005471 / tom.kimbell@cushwake.com.

On behalf of private clients, FHP Property Consultants are pleased to announce the availability of 22 newly refurbished small industrial/warehouse units at Milnhay Industrial Park, Langley Mill. This high-quality development offers units ranging from 1,023ft² to 2,643ft² available to let at a competitive rent of £10.00 per ft² on quick and easy lease terms offering easy in and easy out flexibility to suit local occupiers.

The entire estate has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and offers units of steel portal frame construction, with newly clad elevations. Each unit benefits from their own access door and electric roller shutter door with adequate outside loading and car parking.

Internally, occupiers will benefit from:

• Minimum eaves height of 3.9 metres
• LED lighting
• W/C and kitchenette facilities installed
• Translucent roof lights
• Incoming BT duct for telecoms/data

This newly improved development is perfectly suited for a wide variety of uses for local/ regional occupiers including industrial, storage and trade uses.

Situated on Milnhay Road, the estate provides fast and convenient access to Junction 26 of the M1 motorway, linking directly to the A603 and A610 and the A38. Langley Mill is positioned equidistant to Nottingham (9.6 miles) and Derby (10.3 miles) making it an ideal base for both local and regional businesses.

The launch of these units comes at a time of resilient demand in the sub-5,000ft² industrial/warehouse sector. Despite all the market uncertainty as a result of recent political and economic and worldwide uncertainties, demand has remained strong for units of this size across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Smaller industrial schemes continue to outperform expectations. Across the region, there remains a shortage of high-quality new-build/ refurbished stock, particularly in the 1,000–3,000ft² range. As such, Milnhay Industrial Park presents a good opportunity for occupiers to secure high-quality space in a good location at a competitive rent.

Corbin Archer of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“Milnhay Industrial Park delivers exactly what the market needs, well-located, modern industrial units that are cost-effective, offer flexible terms and suit a range of business uses. The response to similarly specified schemes across the East Midlands has been strong, and with the current shortage of small industrial stock, we expect high levels of interest here.”
