An indicative masterplan has been drawn up by Roberts Limbrick architects
A planning application has now been lodged for the spine road, which will extend from the Ellesmere Business Park roundabout to Canal Way, to provide future access to the land ready for building. “This planning application responds to this desire and seeks consent for the very specific engineering and infrastructure associated with the link road and the necessary earthworks and flood alleviation works.
The document, by Nigel Thorns Planning Consultancy, also reveals that since outline permission was obtained, the landowner, Burbury Investments Ltd, has acquired an extra piece of land next to the business park roundabout for “commercial, retail and/or office use”. The indicative masterplan also shows parcels of land marked up for holiday cabins and touring caravans next to the canal, as well as an area for leisure facilities and public open space.
