Due to the size of the proposed development, it is classed as a 'Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project' and any decision will be made by the Secretary of State for Transport.

The site is within the boundaries of Blaby District Council and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, and is located south-west of the village of Elmesthorpe, close to Broughton Astley, and may impact on parts of the local highway network in the Harborough district.
In the Statement of Community Consultation, Tritax Symmetry highlight their plans for the consultation, which will include a detailed website and consultation form for interested parties and residents in the affected area to have their say.
