New Era for Longbridge: £30m Industrial Hub Set to Create Hundreds of Jobs

Industrial property developer Indurent has submitted a planning application for the final phase of development at Indurent Park Longbridge West, marking a significant step in the ongoing transformation of the former MG Rover site.

The proposed £30 million scheme includes over 339,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics space, alongside high-quality ancillary office facilities, spread across 13 individual units.

Located 12 kilometres southwest of Birmingham city centre, the site was once home to the iconic MG Rover car manufacturing plant, which ceased operations in 2005. Now, nearly two decades later, it is set to be reborn as a modern business hub.

Once completed, the development is expected to generate approximately 590 full-time jobs, in addition to 280 roles during the construction phase.

Jessica Evans, Senior Planning Manager at Indurent, said:
“This planning application marks a major milestone for Indurent and the wider regeneration of Longbridge. The development will deliver modern, high-quality employment space—attracting investment, driving job creation, and boosting the local economy.

As we approach 20 years since the closure of the MG Rover plant, this site is starting a new chapter as a centre for business and innovation. We look forward to working closely with the local authority and community to bring these plans to life and ensure they deliver lasting benefits for Longbridge.”
