Prologis is redeveloping the former Vauxhall Motors headquarters, Griffin House, and BWI Group site on Windmill Road to create a new high-quality logistics park.

In May 2023, Luton Borough Council granted hybrid planning permission (part-outline/part-detail) for the redevelopment for the whole site. The land to the north and west of the site, i.e. west of the River Lea formed part of the detailed element of this permission and gained full approval for the construction of seven flexible industrial and logistics units, internal road network, yard space, and all internal routes and public areas including a new shared pedestrian and cycle path along the River Lea connecting Osborne Road with Manor Road Park.

Since then, we have also moved forward with detailed design of the scheme, receiving reserved matters approval / detailed consent for the different buildings across the site.

This includes ‘The Hub’ building which will be a flexible on-site training facility to help upskill employees and create significant levels of social value to the local community and businesses. This would be our second such facility following our highly-successful Hub building at Daventry International Rail Freight (DIRFT).

We also received approval to build a 165,000 sq ft building on the plot adjacent to Windmill Road to the east of the River Lea in August 2024.

As of April 2026, we are preparing to submit a new ‘Reserved Matters’ planning application to make a small change to the layout of this building, known as DC8. This application proposes to split the previously consented DC8 building into two smaller buildings, which is in response to increased occupier demand for smaller units in urban locations like this.

To accommodate the unit being split, some minor design changes are required. This includes altering the site access/egress on Osbourne Road so that it can be used by HGVs in addition to smaller vehicles, to service the southern unit. We do not envisage this causing any major change in traffic levels on local roads when compared to the previous layout. More information can be found in our recent News update.

We will continue to update this website with News as the scheme moves forward.

Our ambition is to create an outstanding development to support business, create jobs and be an economic asset for Luton and the community.
