New commercial unit in Kegworth set to create 250 jobs

Plans have been submitted for a 170,000 sq ft commercial development on the former Royal Bank of Scotland data centre site in Kegworth. Developer Hobden Estates has filed the proposal with North West Leicestershire District Council, projecting the creation of approximately 250 jobs.

The existing building, decommissioned since 2021, will be demolished in two phases, with council approval for demolition granted in December 2024. The new facility will include warehouse space, offices, and 160 parking spaces, focusing on accessibility to primary transport links, including East Midlands Airport.

The development also aims to invest in workforce skills and education. A newsletter outlining the plans and requesting feedback has been sent to local residents.
