GB Europe, the property investment and development arm of GB Global, has secured control of a major strategic landholding in Corby as part of its long-term UK development strategy.
The site, extending to approximately 170 acres, is currently arable land and has been secured under an option agreement, allowing the group to bring the land forward through the local planning process. The land is not designated as green belt.
Located on the edge of Corby, North Northamptonshire, the site will be brought forward through the area’s emerging local plan. GB Europe will also explore planning applications where appropriate.
Vincent Morris, property director at GB Europe, said: “Sites of this scale don’t come forward often. Corby allows us to apply our experience in strategic land promotion while remaining flexible and responsive to what the local plan ultimately requires.”
Given the scale of the site and its proximity to existing communities, the group is taking a long‑term and flexible approach, with future proposals shaped by planning policy, consultation and local need rather than fixed assumptions at this stage.
The Corby site forms part of GB Europe’s wider focus on securing strategic land in well‑connected locations, where early engagement and planning expertise can support sustainable growth and employment‑led development over time.
