Approval Recommended for new Vitacress plan

A planning application by Vitacress for changes to their premises at

Lower Link Farm, Hurstbourne Priors, will be considered by the

Development Committee of Basingstoke & Deane Borough

Council at a special meeting on Thursday 2 September 2010.

The plan is described as:

Erection of 3 intake bays,

9 dispatch bays and a storage area adjoining main building;

Erection of agricultural and vehicle workshop following demolition of existing;

Relocation of existing and provision of new plant and equipment;

Implementation of a scheme of lighting and landscaping improvements.

BDBC Planning Officers are recommending, subject to a

reference to the Secretary of State, that permission should be

granted. This is in view of the existing established agricultural /

industrial use on this site, the business case and the locational

justification for the proposal.
