DP World's London Gateway Logistics Park has received Thurrock Council's approval of a new 10-year Local Development Order (LDO) which will see the site's continued expansion, London's Port Technology International.

The LDO supports the London Gateway Logistics Park's customers by streamlining planning processes for new construction projects, which are all built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' classification as standard.

Under the LDO, new builds at the Park are granted final approval within 28 days, which reportedly enables rapid progression from agreeing a lease to construction and establishment of new facilities, and making London Gateway attractive for fresh investment.

The park has developed half of its nine million square-foot site, with the 10-year extension expected to support the utilisation of its remaining space.

The park's first two manufacturing tenants, Destiny Entertainments and Ranson, moved into new facilities at the beginning of 2025.
