Legal & General Property (LGP) said on Wednesday it has submitted an outline planning application for a new 81,800 m2 rail-connected cross-dock distribution warehouse at its 70 acre former Gefco UK Car Storage Site on Geddington Road in Corby, near Birmingham. The project is earmarked for the company's Industrial Property Investment Fund.

The scheme, known as Cor!, will be developed in partnership with Roxhill Developments and will incorporate around 3,700 m2 of office space as well as providing lorry and car parking, landscaping and supporting infrastructure. The project is estimated to create up to 1,000 new jobs.

Burbage Realty, CBRE and King Sturge, have been appointed to market the scheme.
