Background
The Council's
South Area Development Control Sub-Committee
deferred a decision on the redevelopment of former the Girdlestones
factory site, Station Road, Melton (planning application C/09/0584)
at its meeting on 12 November 2009.
The Sub-Committee expressed concerns about the overall scale of
the proposed buildings and in particular those proposed to be three
storeys high. There were also a number of technical matters that
needed to be resolved such as surface water drainage, terms of a
possible legal agreement and the content of potential controlling
conditions.
Revised proposal submitted
In February 2010 the applicants submitted a revised proposal of
all two storey development having a floor space of 8,626 square
metres (originally 10,456 square metres) with 275 car parking
spaces (originally 303 spaces). Links to the revised plans are set
out below along with the updated Design and Access Statement,
Traffic Impact Assessment and photo montages. The previous Flood
Risk Assessment has not changed.
Conditional approval given
Conditional approval was given by the South Area Development
Control Sub-Committee at its meeting on Thursday 4 March, with over
20 conditions intended to control and mitigate the impact of the
development on the neighbouring area. For more details read the
Council's press release
'Girdlestones site given
conditional approval'.
