• Outline planning permission granted for up to 974,000 sq ft of new logistics space
• Supports onward development pipeline at one of the Company’s major logistics parks
• Builds on recent successful lease extension and letting to Currys plc at Tritax Park Newark

The consent enables Tritax Big Box, in partnership with Simons Developments, to progress the next phase of development opportunities at Tritax Park Newark. Phase 2 will deliver buildings between 200,000 - 460,000 sq ft capable of accommodating a range of institutional-grade occupiers, complementing the existing development and operational buildings at the park. The buildings will build on the sustainability approach incorporated into Unit 01, including targeting BREEAM Excellent, EPC A, and installing Solar PV. The wider masterplan also includes a 40-acre country park, delivering green space for occupiers, employees and the local community. A reserved matters application will be submitted later in 2026, with completion of buildings targeted from 2027.

In a prime strategic location in the East Midlands, approximately 0.5 miles from the A46/A1 intersection, Tritax Park Newark benefits from excellent road connectivity, proximity to regional rail and airport infrastructure, and access to the UK’s major ports, including Immingham.

The planning consent follows the successful recent 0.4 million sq ft letting of Unit 01 (Phase 1) to Currys plc and a 10-year lease extension on their existing facility (RNS: 23 April 2026). This reinforces Tritax Park Newark’s position as a core logistics location for major occupiers seeking high-quality, well-connected space.

Charlie Withers, Head of Development at Tritax Management LLP and Development Director at Tritax Big Box REIT plc, commented:
“Securing outline planning permission for Phase 2 at Tritax Park Newark represents another important milestone for the site and for our wider development pipeline. Newark continues to demonstrate the strength of our strategy of investing in, and actively progressing, well-located sites capable of supporting the long-term needs of our customers. Following the recent lease extension and new letting to Currys, this planning consent enables us to bring forward high-quality, sustainable logistics space in response to occupier demand.”

Philip Hodgkinson, Director at Simons Developments, said:
“We are delighted to have achieved outline planning permission for Phase 2 at Tritax Park Newark. Our long-standing partnership with Tritax Big Box has already delivered highly successful outcomes at this location, and this consent allows us to build on that momentum. Phase 2 provides a significant opportunity to deliver further high-quality logistics accommodation while continuing to invest in the local area.”
