Plans submitted for major M40 19k sq m logistics park in Buckinghamshire

Proposals have been put forward for a 19,000-square-metre industrial development on land next to Junction 1 of the M40, just off Denham Court Drive.

The scheme creators say it aims to address a shortage of space for small and medium-sized businesses in South Buckinghamshire.

Whitbread PLC, the company behind the plans, is inviting feedback from residents during a public consultation before submitting a planning application later this year.

Richard Pearson, senior development manager at Whitbread, said: “Industrial and logistics space is in short supply across South Buckinghamshire, with just 1.1 per cent of total floorspace currently vacant.

“Our proposals for Denham Court Drive will help address this need in a highly accessible location on the strategic road network, while creating jobs and supporting local economic growth.

“We look forward to hearing the local community’s views on our plans and encourage residents to join us at the upcoming consultation events.”

The consultation will run from September 10 to 23, 2026.

Two in-person consultation events will take place on Thursday, September 10 from 3pm to 7pm at Denham Bowls Club, and on Saturday, September 12 from 11am to 3pm at Denham Village Memorial Hall.

A project website will also be launched at denhamcourtdrive.co.uk, offering further details and the opportunity to provide feedback online.
