ABP submits Humber development plans
Associated British Ports (ABP) has submitted a planning application for the development of 39 hectares of land at its Stallingborough Interchange site, located near the Ports of Immingham and Grimsby on England’s north-east coast.
This new development aims to provide high-quality open storage space for the automotive sector, catering to both new and existing customers.
“Demand is expected to increase for energy generation, automotive storage, bulk warehousing and storage and distribution uses and this new site will ensure the delivery of state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities and technological innovation for new and existing customers,” said Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports.
The 92 ha site was acquired by ABP in December 2024. The proposed plans include up to 12,000 square metres of building space, external storage for goods (Class B8) and key infrastructure.
The application also includes the installation of ground-mounted solar panels and landscaping to improve biodiversity.
“This is part of the wider Stallingborough development that will deliver up to a further 1.5 million sq ft of industrial and manufacturing space across the remainder of the site that benefits from an existing planning consent,” explained Greg Lacey, head of property (Humber) for ABP.
The development will focus on 28 hectares dedicated to automotive storage, reinforcing the growth at the Ports of Immingham and Grimsby.
Originally agricultural land, the site has been earmarked for employment use in the local plan since 2013. ABP plans to begin construction in 2026.
