London Gateway gains fast track planning for another ten years

[ March 12, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

Thurrock Council has approved a new ten-year Local Development Order (LDO) to enable continued expansion and job creation at DP World’s London Gateway Logistics Park. The LDO streamlines planning processes for new construction projects, which are all built to a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ classification as standard. Under the LDO, new builds at the Park are granted final approval within 28 days.

The Park is the largest facility of its type in the UK, and has now developed half of its 9.0 million sq. ft site. The 10-year LDO extension is expected to support utilisation of the  remaining space.

The Park also sits within the Thames Freeport, which was established in 2021, providing tenants of the site with benefits including business rate, stamp duty and national insurance contributions relief.
