Plans to expand an industrial estate in Lancaster have been given the go ahead.
Councillors have given the green light to build two new buildings for general industrial and/or storage use, comprising 14 individual units, on undeveloped land at Port Royal Avenue on the Lune Business Park.
A site visit was held in respect of the application last week ahead of the proposal being considered by Lancaster City Council’s planning regulatory committee earlier this week.
During the meeting, Ward Councillor Mandy Bannon spoke against the application, while Jack Appleton, of Broadgrove Planning & Development, responded in favour, on behalf of the applicant, Craig Sneddon of Derwent Lodge Estates Limited.
The plans have been approved, with eleven Councillors voted in favour of the proposal with two against and two abstentions, and permission is granted subject to a number of conditions.
There is also a further condition that a financial contribution of £35,000 is given towards an off-site enhancement scheme, and an additional condition regarding no external storage.
The first proposed new block will be 80.2 metres in length, 18.8 metres in width and with a height of six metres to the ridge. The smaller Block B will be 39.1 metres in length, 18.8 metres in width and six metres to the ridge.
The proposal also includes the creation of accesses from both Port Royale Avenue and Europa Way, along with internal access road, parking bays and a turning head.
