Outline planning application submitted for the development of a 54-acre site at Brackmills Logistics Park, Northampton, in one of the UK’s most established logistics locations

Royal London Asset Management Property, working with commercial real estate investor and developer Graftongate, has submitted an outline planning application for up to 1.26 million sq ft of industrial/logistics space at Brackmills Logistics Park.

The application relates to a 54-acre site within Northampton’s Brackmills Industrial Estate, acquired from Coca-Cola in September 2025.

With an estimated GDV of £340 million, the scheme would provide ‘Big Box’ units capable of accommodating a wide range of occupier requirements while supporting modern supply chain operations.

Sited at the heart of the UK’s logistics Golden Triangle, Brackmills Logistics Park offers direct access to the M1, M6 and A14, providing connectivity to major markets nationwide. The location also benefits from an established labour pool and a strong occupier base.

Robert Kiernan at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: “As a safeguarded employment site, the submission of this outline planning application marks another important milestone for Brackmills Logistics Park. Following positive pre-application discussions with West Northamptonshire District Council and having successfully secured power early, we are now looking to bring forward the site for development.

“This represents an exceptional and very rare opportunity in the UK, delivering scale and job opportunities for the Northamptonshire economy in prime logistics.”

Brackmills builds on the successful relationship between Graftongate and Royal London Asset Management Property, following four previous development-led acquisitions. They include sites at Teddington, Eaton 176 in Lee-on-the-Solent and Fareham Distribution Park, as well as Pickford Green in Coventry, a high-specification mid-box scheme scheduled for completion in October 2026.

Jamie Hockaday, Director at Graftongate, added: “We are pleased to be managing the development of Brackmills Logistics Park on behalf of Royal London Asset Management Property. This is an exciting scheme that will deliver high-quality industrial/logistics space in one of the UK’s most established distribution locations.”
