Transport & Access
The Future of Magna Park
The proposed extension has been designed to integrate with Magna Park's existing road network and benefit from the site's established connections via the A5 and A4303 to the strategic highway network.
Transport Analysis
High-level transport analysis has been undertaken. It concluded that the proposed development would not have a severe impact on the operation of the highway network, in accordance with national planning policy.
HGV Routing
Traffic from the northern expansion will be directed south and east towards the strategic road network. HGVs will not be routed north through Ullesthorpe or surrounding villages.
GLP actively monitors HGV movements across the Magna Park estate and works with occupiers to ensure vehicles follow designated routes. A reporting system is in place for residents to flag any HGVs using inappropriate routes, with contact details available on the Magna Park website.

Sustainable Travel
Magna Park already benefits from a range of sustainable travel initiatives. The park operates a dedicated shuttle bus service connecting employees to nearby towns including Lutterworth, Rugby and Coventry, reducing the number of single-occupancy car journeys. Extensive cycle storage and EV charging infrastructure are also provided across the campus.
A5 / Gibbet Hill Improvements
National Highways is committed to undertake improvement works to the A5 / Gibbet Hill roundabout. GLP is in ongoing dialogue with National Highways regarding these works and their relationship to the extension proposals.
