Issue - meetings

Approved in line with officer recommendation, subject to expiry of the ongoing public consultation exercise on 30 July 2025 and no new materially different matters being raised, the land collaboration agreement between Albion land and Tritax big box has been reviewed and agreed by OCC and CDC (so that the highway improvements can be provided), conditions (details to be set out in the Minutes) and section 106 agreement.

The Committee considered application 21/03268/OUT for outline planning permission (all matters reserved except for access) for the erection of buildings comprising logistics (Use Class B8) and ancillary Office (Use Class E(g)(i)) floorspace; construction of new site access from the B4100; creation of internal roads and access routes; hard and soft landscaping including noise attenuation measures; and other associated infrastructure at OS Parcel 2636 NW Of Baynards House Ardley Green Farm Street To Horwell Farm Baynards Green for Albion Land.

Cllr Caroline Cooke, on behalf of Stoke Lyne Parish Council, addressed the Committee in objection to the application.    

Emma Lancaster, agent for the applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the application.

It was proposed by Councillor Conway and seconded by Councillor Thornhill that application 21/03268/OUT be approved, in line with the officer recommendation.

The proposal was debated and on being put to the vote, the motion was tied. The Chair used their casting vote against the application and consequently the motion was lost and therefore fell.

It was subsequently proposed by Councillor Pruden and seconded by Councillor Walker that application 21/03268/OUT be refused against officer recommendation, as it would cause undue visual harm to the local area, the loss of agricultural land and the subsequent environmental impact.

The proposal was debated and, having regard to the debate, the Proposer and Seconder confirmed they wished to withdraw the proposal. The Committee voted in favour of withdrawing the proposal.

After further discussions it was proposed by Councillor Thornhill and seconded by Councillor Conway that application 21/03268/OUT be approved, in line with the officer recommendation.

In reaching its decision the Committee considered the officer’s report and presentation, public speakers and the written updates.
