IMI Norgren, Shipston Public Inquiry

A public inquiry starts next week on Tuesday 5 February 2012, following an appeal by Cala Homes against the development of the IMI Norgren site on Campden Road, Shipston-on-Stour.

The appeal relates to a planning application for the demolition of existing industrial buildings and caretakers house for the development of up to 125 houses and employment use.

Stratford-on-Avon District Council has refused the application on the grounds that the site is generally not sustainable because of its separation from the town and because of the impact upon the landscape setting of the town.

The inquiry, expected to last for 3 days, will be held at the Council Offices, Elizabeth House, Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon starting at 10am.  A Government Planning Inspector will preside over the inquiry.

Members of the public may attend the inquiry and express their view – at the discretion of the inspector.
