The sentence referencing distribution, manufacturing and warehousing is the biggest concern. Whilst the plan of sympathetic and environmental sites is reassuring, the concern is that once approved the tenants want large buildings or the next generation will want larger unsympathetic. With remote working is there sufficient demand? There is already terrible congestion around this area and the only way of travel will be by road. If approved the floodgates could open to further less sympathetic and considerate development in this area. There are several other sites in the vicinity. Requesting strong and long covenants to protect the sites long term.
