Planning

Our proposals for Parkside were subject to detailed public scrutiny via the democratic planning process, followed by a government-mandated public inquiry.

To secure our outline planning permission we had to demonstrate not just the planning case for the development, but also how we would go about delivering the project in a way that mitigates the impacts of developing the scheme.

With consent now in place, work is starting on delivering on the scheme’s promise of more than 1,300 jobs, £2.2m a year in rateable income for the council and an uplift to the local economy of £80m a year.

Detailed planning consent has been secured as part of Phase 1 for 793,200 sq ft of exemplar logistics units comprising of Units A, B & C from 198,100 to 367,700 sq ft.
