We secured outline planning permission at appeal for the 11.7-hectare expansion of Brockeridge Park, delivering up to 33,329 sqm of new storage and distribution space and supporting the creation of around 500 jobs.
Following refusal by Tewkesbury Borough Council, we built a robust evidence-led case demonstrating a significant shortfall in employment land and the substantial economic benefits of the scheme, including an estimated £27–30 million of gross value added each year.
The strength of the evidence presented resulted in the Council withdrawing its case from the inquiry. The appeal was subsequently allowed, with the Inspector recognising the need for employment land and concluding that the Council’s Local Plan was out of date.
