Summary
Big industrial expansion looms over Horsepool Grange in Leicestershire, with plans for up to ten thousand square meters of new commercial space, eight new units, and widened access roads—all aimed at meeting soaring demand and easing rent pressure that’s jumped 40% in a decade. The project could spawn 150 jobs, 136 of them local, and pump £13.6 million annually into the Hinckley and Bosworth economy. Strategically positioned in the “Logistics Golden Triangle” near the M1, M69, and M42, it’s poised to handle 100 daily car trips and 8 HGVs during peak hours. Still pending council approval, this could reshape the region’s industrial landscape. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
