An industrial complex with a rail freight terminal big enough to take trains half a mile long is planned for land to the south of Elmesthorpe.

The development is proposed for 440 acres of land between the M69 and the Leicester to Hinckley railway line. Developers DB Symmetry predict if it goes ahead the venture will create 8,400 jobs.

The proposals include a 1,500,000 square foot warehouse which would be the largest building in Leicestershire.
