Planning

Outline planning for the site was secured in August 2019 (Planning Reference Number: S/36948). A range of environmental surveys and assessments were carried out in support of the planning application and are accessible via the planning portal. Planning for reserved matters including access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for Zone 1 was approved in June 2022.
