The site

The site is well-positioned to foster new employment due to its proximity to Huntingdon and surrounding areas. There is potential to develop a sustainable extension to Hinchingbrooke Business Park, in line with approved housing growth and upcoming infrastructure upgrades, promoting sustainable transport options.

Site location (in red) and context plan

National planning policy emphasises the importance of locating logistics sites in optimal areas. These sites must be large, easily accessible from motorways and A-roads, capable of 24-hour operation, have sufficient power supply, and a robust labour force.

Newlands Park, Huntingdon perfectly fits these criteria, making it an excellent choice for industrial and logistics. Its prime location offers direct access to the A1 and A14 highways, with 56% of Huntingdonshire’s working-age population residing within 10km of the site. This accessibility supports job creation and provides a strategic development opportunity.
