Guide to development and relocation opportunities

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council’s vision is to be a borough

to be proud of. The key to delivering this vision is to create a

vibrant place to work and live. As a consequence, Hinckley is

going through a transformation with an investment of over

£1billion creating approximately 10,000 jobs in Hinckley town

centre and the wider borough.

This transformation is creating exciting development and

relocation opportunities in the retail, business, education and

housing sectors. Some projects are underway with others yet to

start offering the chance for organisations to join and work

towards this vision with a determined and progressive council.

Success is dependant upon public and private sector investment

in an environment of determination and collaboration. We invite

you to consider the opportunities on offer as a location for your

business or as a place to invest and be part of a proud future.

our vision

Cultural Quarter Hinckley

The area to the north of the town centre has huge potential for

redevelopment and growth and is known as the Cultural Quarter.

The area is anchored by:

North Warwickshire & Hinckley College – a development completed three years ago

The Atkins Building – A council owned successful business enterprise centre in a converted hosiery factory

The Concordia Theatre – A well used regional theatre

The Cultural Quarter is a diverse part of the town with underused

buildings and demolished factory sites. There is also an eclectic mix

of retail, museum and voluntary sector buildings, small factory units

and housing.

With a need for housing in the town centre the area is thought ideal

for new housing developments. There is also the potential for new

employment generation and especially managed workspace.

Hinckley Leisure Centre Coventry Road

A high profile, 1.376ha (3.4 acre) site on the A47 Coventry Road at

the edge of the town centre. Currently occupied by a leisure

centre this presents an opportunity for a landmark redevelopment

from early 2016. Suitable for a residential/mixed use scheme

yielding a minimum of 55 dwellings. Other appropriate uses in

addition to residential development include hotel, leisure,

retirement living and offices.

Castle Street and Church Walk Car ParkHinckley

This 0.33 ha. (0.8 acre) development site is in the main Castle

Street pedestrianised shopping street, between the prime

Britannia Shopping Centre and the recently refurbished Co-op

department store. It comprises a number of mixed-ownership

retail shops and a public car park at the rear.

The opportunity is for a new retail based scheme that increases

the retail floor space and general offer. This could include larger

units. There is the potential to increase car parking via a single

deck over the existing car park or roof space car parking over a

new building. The design and specific layout of any scheme here is

very flexible. The present businesses and their operational needs

will need to be accommodated.

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council own three of the present

shop units and the public car park. The council will be seeking a

development partner who will pro-actively lead on site assembly,

design, negotiation and developing a new high-quality integrated

retail based scheme. The timing of any such marketing is

currently being considered by the council.

Middlefield Lane Hinckley

The site is in the north of Hinckley, close to the A47 bypass, in an

area which is predominantly residential in character.

This site was formerly used as a depot by Hinckley and Bosworth

Borough Council. Buildings have now been demolished and the

hard surfaces and foundations taken up, but note that the access

road remains.

The site is therefore available for development. A planning brief

for the site has been prepared to assist interested parties. It is

envisaged that use will primarily be residential and this does not

preclude an element for a form of care home. This site is fresh to

the market and interested parties may register their interest on

the council’s website in order to receive updated information and

an invitation to tender a best offer. The site can be inspected by

appointment.
