Purpose

Following the grant of planning permission
CR/2023/0197/FUL on the 26th January 2024 for the demolition of
existing buildings and erection of a parcel distribution centre
(class B8) including car and cycle parking, servicing, landscaping,
new access and associated works, in order to implement this
permission the existing footpath needs to be diverted.

The footpath is currently located towards the east, cutting through
the site from Hydehurst Lane to the north measuring 1m wide and 90m
in length. If left in its current location the footpath would run
straight through the service yard of the development site.

It is therefore proposed to move the footpath further to the east
of the site between the service yard boundary fence and the surface
water attenuation storage. The footpath diversion would measure a
width of 2m and a total length of 65m.
