NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at the date, time and location set out below, a compulsory acquisition hearing will be held by the Examining Authority (appointed by the Secretary of State) for the examination of the application for development consent made by SEGRO Properties Limited (“DCO Application”) and the application for a material change to The East Midlands Gateway Rail Freight Interchange and Highway Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/17) (“EMG1 DCO”) made by SEGRO (EMG) Limited (“the MCO Application”).

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The DCO Application seeks consent for a second phase of the existing SEGRO East Midlands Gateway Logistics Park, a rail freight interchange and logistics development, comprising the following works:

• Construction of up to 300,000m2 (GIA) of logistics and advanced manufacturing buildings with an allowance of up to 200,000m2 for internal mezzanines;
• Construction of new road infrastructure and works to existing road infrastructure;
• Construction of a new bus interchange terminal;
• Construction of HGV parking;
• Structural landscaping and open space, including alterations to public rights of way;
• Creation of a Community Park; and
• Upgrade of the existing East Midlands Gateway substation.

The DCO would authorise the compulsory acquisition of land, interests in land and rights over land, and the powers to use land permanently and temporarily for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project.

The DCO would make provisions in connection with several ancillary matters such as the stopping up of existing highways and private means of access in the vicinity of the route, and the classification of highways.

The MCO Application seeks a material change to the EMG1 DCO that authorised the SEGRO East Midlands Gateway Logistics Park, a rail freight interchange and logistics development together with substantial improvements to Junctions 24 and 24A of the M1 and a southern bypass of Kegworth to the east of the M1, along with other associated development. The amendment seeks to achieve the following-

• Construction of a new rail-served warehouse, known as Plot 16, providing up to 26,500m2 (approximately 269,000 sq.ft.) (GIA) with an additional 3,500m2 allowance in the form of internal mezzanine space;

• Works to increase the permitted height of the cranes at the existing EMG1 rail-freight terminal; and

• Improvements to the public transport interchange, site management building and the EMG1 Pedestrian Crossing.

The DCO Application and the MCO Application were accepted for examination on 12 November 2025.
