Stevenage Northern Gateway offers a rare, large-scale land parcel of c.7.56 hectares (18.70 acres) with strategic motorway frontage immediately west of A1(M) Junction 8. The site has a positive pre-application response supporting flexible B2/B8 uses, making it suitable for industrial, logistics or pharmaceutical development subject to formal planning. Design-and-build opportunities are available, with proposed unit sizes from c.2,400 sq ft up to the full 83,388 sq ft footprint.
The land is split into northern and southern parcels bisected by the A602 and is proposed to be accessed via a new improved entrance. Its motorway links provide reliable connectivity to London, Cambridge and surrounding counties, which is a strong commercial driver for occupiers requiring fast distribution routes. The site’s large, greenfield character and allocated employment status make it attractive to developers targeting regional logistics or manufacturing requirements.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site requires formal planning consent for specific end uses, and physical access and infrastructure works (new entrance, utilities) will be necessary. Tenure details are currently not specified and will need verification. Broadband provision in the area is reported as very slow, which may limit certain office-based uses without investment in connectivity.
This opportunity suits developers and investors seeking strategic motorway‑facing employment land with flexible B2/B8 potential. Expect upfront site preparation and infrastructure costs, but also the ability to deliver bespoke, high-demand industrial or logistics space in a well-connected location.
