Garage Field (Warehousing) Pigeon & Wherstead Parish Council meeting notes
Whersted Parish Council representatives (David Baldry and Robin Coates) met with Pigeon (Andrew Filmore) to discuss concerns with the reserved Matters Submission made by Pigeon. DC/21/01073
The Meeting notes can be downloaded here:
Park Farm Barns Boundary Tree Cutting March 2021:
A number of residents have expressed concern about the cutting of the boundary tree cutting which has taken place along the North Boundary of the site, visible from Church lane.
The Landowner has confirmed this particular cut was done; to prevent the bottom of the tree line drying out and for safety as some boughs overhung the pathways and buildings. Long term they expect the tree line to thicken to improve screening. The tenant will be asked if the lights can be turned off earlier in the evening to reduce light pollution.
The existing tree line will be maintained and there will be more native tree planting across the northern boundary as the development progresses.
Development at Park Farm Barns, March 2021:
Development has commenced at Park Farm barns and one building, unit 19/20, is currently under construction.
The construction of this building is due to be completed by September, but Covid and Brexit are creating supply chain issues which could cause delays. One old building has been demolished on the existing site.
The improvements to the access road off A137 and Vicarage Lane were due to start at the beginning of this month (March) but the agreement with SCC has been delayed due to a last minute change by the SCC legal team. However these will hopefully start soon, which with a four month timeframe should be in place comfortably before the completion and occupation of Unit 19/20.
There are no current plans for further development this year.
