The Site
Newlands Park is situated on the edge of Luton, adjacent to the M1 and A1081. The site has been identified within the Luton Local Plan as a key employment area. The site has been designated as a ‘Category A’ Employment Site, and is allocated for new development and protected for business uses in the local plan.
As you may be aware, the site is currently vacant and has been subject to a number of recent planning applications for a mixed-use development including commercial, business and retail space, which have not been taken forward.
Wrenbridge Land are now bringing forward new proposals on this key employment site for an entirely employment focused development. Newlands Park will comprise high quality business space. The size and configuration of the warehousing will appeal to major blue-chip companies as headquarter buildings. Extensive office space will be incorporated as part of the buildings ensuring that a range of new jobs are created across a variety of sectors including management, accountancy, public relations, personnel as well as logistics. Unlike the previous proposals, there will be no retail provision as part of our plans, given previous concerns about retail being taken away from the town centre.
